RE: scope coming back and hitting you in the face
Just picked up my first mag gun. . 7MMRM in a win model 70. I love it put a box through at the range last week everything was great. Shot my first pig Friday at last light nice shot dropped him like a rock. Saturday morning roles around and I am about frozen when a nice boar walks out, hoping for a nice Doe but what the heck, I get the gun up and with my face gear on my breath starts to fog my scope. So while I mess with this and try to see my target a must have moved a bit close and allowed the butt to be seated a bit loose to my sholder. Net Net . . .I fire he drops and then I feel something wet coming down my nose. Got a nice little split above my right eye. No pain but sure got my attention. I am not small, 6'3" 190 and the recoil is felt but not over the top. I can hardly wait until the next time I fire. I be I will be paying special attention to how far back my eye is. I have a Burris Fullfield II mounted on this gun and I thought the eye releif was at least 2 or 3 ". Who knows?
