Thanks for the reply, 5E. I don't shoot trap, feathered stuff and sporting clays being my games, but have experienced some hot shooting at times. In Cordoba I averaged one round every 14 seconds for 3 hours at a time. Some spells during those three hour shoots would get much, much faster than that, with me loading and shooting literally as fast as I could for a few minutes at the time. I used a vent rib gun, a 687 SPII with 30" barrels, but never even noticed mirage.

I am well aware of the effects of mirage on precision rifle shooting, but I guess I watch the bird so hard that I've never noticed it shooting a scattergun. Still say I don't believe I have ever missed a bird because of it.

Thanks.
