Totally agree with you on most parts.
Some people can break most of the principles and shoot awesomely. Just the way it is.

What I meant by concrete is that it is a principle of marksmanship.
I will also bet dollars to donuts you follow thru to an extent without realising it.

Like I said, I don't know what you mean so I can't say one way or another. I want the cross hairs to come back to where they started, is this what you mean? Unless it is a field shot and I'm all twisted up. Realistically you should be able to shoot left handed lying on your back twisted round a tree stump and if you get the important stuff right, still get what you want.

I definitely want the rifle to recoil and return to the same point of aim, or at least field of view.

Should add that with 6.5x47 burning no more powder than it needs, I could self spot with my heavy hunting rifle at 100m on quite high magnification. A Sako stock and a heavy over barrel suppressor help. Little recoil.

Lets see if my new straight stocked sporter weight 7mm Rem Mag with its pencil thin barrel changes my tune. Could only get 175g factory loads locally
