Really appreciated the replies to my other thread, thank you.

I ended up going with a Vortex 1-6 and I’m enjoying playing around with it. Will get it zeroed in at the range next week. Had the store mount it for me—and they were able to bore site it too.

Ok, now my question is about posture. Been reading a ton about it and will probably pay for some private instruction at the range too, since there’s only so much you can get from reading or watching a video. But one thing that’s got me confused is the issue of head-tilt, especially when shooting in the standing position. I don’t think I’ll be hunting this way, as I’ll be in a stand, probably with a bipod, but I’d rather learn to do this right rather than develop a bad habit.

Once I’ve got the rifle in the crook of my shoulder and I get my cheek on the stock and my eye behind the scope, my head is definitely tilted. Not to some extreme angle, but noticeably. It’s the only way I can get a clear view through the scope.

Some websites say this is bad form, but I’m not seeing how it’d be possible not to do this and still have a cheek weld and see through the scope. And in some videos I’ve watched, shooters do have a tilt like mine.

Just wondering if folks here have any advice about this. Should I focus on what works for me? Is there a tutorial about this that you’d point me to?
