RE: I got my first gun!
Nice rifle. It will serve you well.
"I fired my very first shot while sighting it in, the scope hit me right above the eyebrow!
"
The scope is too far to the rear. i can tell that from the photo. Need to move it forward about 3/4 inch.

Actually, the rear iron sights have been removed, but I would still have to raise the scope to move it forward, so I could re-install the sights! And I'll have iron sights and a scope!
This is getting better!
I'm going to have the scope adjusted and sighted in this week.

RE: I got my first gun!
Congrats on the new gun! I have a Winchester M70 in .308 that looks just about like yours, but it came without any open sights at all!
BTW, I got 6 stitches from that .308!!!! It's not that much recoil, I was holding it at a bad angle making a hunting shot!
Also, except for the big kickers that you KNOW that you've shot after the first shot, recoil is cumulative, after a box of shells or so in one sitting, you'll feel the difference between the .308 and a .22-250!
Again, congrats!

About 2 hours away, I believe.
