Never thought of the consistancy that band aid trick might help. Might have to try that one, thanks.
I would have to side with the Renegade for comfort with heavy conicals. The curved metal but plate of the Hawken, is the culprite for me. Once that shoulder gets sensitive to it, it becomes a problem, but to hunt and fire only a time or two it might not be an issue. They sure do point nice with those iron sights for me, even with old eyes.
