its all good..i wasn't shooting just once, i thought i was spacing em out good, but i think it was those quadruple powder load shots at the end of the day that mighta did me in. i did enjoy watching my buddies safety glasses poppin up after each shot...he woulda had scope eye 6 times had he not had em on lol..i got a 30-06 as well, and a 22-250, 223, 30-30..but i needed my sm good to go and i really enjoy shootin it, takes a lil more than shootin the 30-06.
