I've been lucky maybe because I watched two guys
get scope bit when just getting into shooting big stuff.

I'm mighty careful of how close I get to them as it looks
damned painful and I don't like blood running into my eye's
either.

These hard recoiling .17 cal's are terrible about scope relief.

Til I put on about 75lbs I used to have a long turkey neck and
crawled the stocks bad. After discovering I was too close a few
times I've learned to back off. That and knowing "if there's black,
I'm too close".

Only time I've shot a high dollar scope was a city cop sniper buddies AR.
Said he'd paid over $3000 for it. Nice n clear, but, I didn't see that much
difference, sure as hell not $3000 worth!
