    Rushy,
    I think the threads above are giving you some great advice. I put a monster magnification scope on my .204 varmint rifle and it took me ages to get comfortable with it. In the end I actually went out into the field with my spanners and bipod and shot it lots as I moved the scope up and down the rings. One thing I did lots was to close my eyes and get into position then open them to see where I was in the scope. Rather than playing with my cheek piece I then started to play with ring heights, bases and mechanisms. It helps to have a great relationship with your favourite gunshop as it took me 3 goes to get it 90% perfect.

    You will be before you reach 300 rounds of factory ammo and would like better results and a new wallet.

    Mark my words.

    If you shoot that thing lots at range you will end up reloading.

    I will come down and shout you a beer if I do. Tell me how long would it take to load 100 rounds, what is the set up cost and what is the average cost per round going to end up being?

    How long is a piece of string?

    My set up is very basic,takes ages,is cheap as chips(those really expensive huge bags of chips that are only 1/4 full)

    Cost isnt really the thing tho it is cheaper (more so in your cal i would have thought) hitting what your aiming at is the thing.

    Ie a 10 inch average group at a 1000y will make it hard to hit a 10-12" plate even in good conditions, but a 5'' group makes it that much easier
