Rockdoc: I prefer to have a scope as close to the barrel as possible and that way it aligns closer to the eye for a quick shot like that which would be made on running game. It has to be comfortable and easy just like in shotgunning to make a quick shot. Target shooting is another matter IMO. I also shoot a scoped rifle with both eyes open just like a shotgun. Just my personal opinion though. Buzz

Socialism is almost the worst.
