Brother do I agree with that "shooting from the bench" mess. Just came back from the range, after having a lengthy session with a .300 Weatherby due to scope mal-function. That rifle took 9 deer this year--never felt the kick. Today= headache from hell, sore neck muscles,pulverized shoulder, and one small "scope kiss" ( hurt my ego more than the eyebrow), guess thats why I prefer killing game,,rather than paper. That old 760 pump gun isn't anywhere near that abusive.
