The 270 rifle class at Gunsite Academy did wonders for my rifle shooting. This article was a great refresher read. We’ll be doing the Battle Rifle class at Gunsite in November, and I’m sure we’ll be using these techniques.

What are you using for a "battle rifle?"

I’ll be using my FN, SCAR-17 in 7.62x51mm. It’s topped with a Nightforce NX-8, ATACR 1-8x24mm.

I read an article recently you wrote in Game and Fish West about the Wilson Combat NULA Model 20. I thought then that you mounted your scope farther back than I do. Ha... now I know why. Thanks!

It's no surprise humans are made differently and the can account for some difference. However, I think most rifle shooters mount their scopes too far forward for optimum off-hand shooting.
