I close the other eye. And I definitely have to wiggle a little to get the right alignment and see the crosshair. (I’m hoping to make this all happen a lot faster with practice.)
A lot of conflicting guidance and pictures out there. Some folks seem to anchor the butt of the rifle in the shoulder. Others seem to have it practically at their collarbone. I guess everyone’s built a little differently, and rifles vary too.
I realize this thread isn’t about optics per se, but since it has to do with positioning via the scope, I figured it might make sense to put it here.
