This this this

...Solid advice, it hadn't even crossed my mind to avoid sitting down and staring through the scope to look around on the tops - I've only stalked in the bush so far and spotting animals has been completely by the naked eye so far.

You were also right on the correction about BDC and rangefinder - that's a spastic brainfart and I definitely meant to type that and not spotting scope. Not enough coffee this morning clearly!

The rifle is a Tikka aspire superlite (Yeah, I drank the tikka Kool-aid...) It's already bought and paid for, and by the time the lockout is lifted I plan to put a set of rings and a scope on it then go do a heap of target practice at ranges up to 300yds getting to know it and, form a mental trajectory chart based on experience basically.
