OK old man - I'll forgive you. Maybe you should go to Walmart and get a Limbsaver slip on to use to sight in your new toy. I use one when sighting in my bog boys. Like my Browning 78 in .45-70 with its steel cresent buttplate. That's a punisher on both ends. So is my Ruger #1 in .405 Win.
I haven't found a ML I need it on yet. Maybe if I got a big old .58 that shoots those big balls.
RASOB - forgot to mention. Nice shooting.
