Default RE: question for hunters w/scopes

What I like to do is leave the scope mounted loosely in the rings, so you can slide it back and forth easily. I then take the gun off the cradle I'm using to mount the scope on. I hold the gun at my waist and close my eyes. I then shoulder the gun as if I'm getting ready to shoot from a standing position. I then open my eyes and check to see if I have a full field of view through the scope. This keeps me from twisting my head and neck to adjust my sight plain to the scope. I do this several times before I lock down the top half of my scope rings. You want to move the scope to fit your natural shooting position and not alter your shooting position to fit the scope and the way it's mounted.
I am no expert but it seems to be working for me.
Good luck...
