Wow, I'm interested in the subject because I bought a Weatherby Vanguard in 300 Weatherby (have not tried it yet) and has a viewfinder. I think the distance from the viewer eye to eye is adequate, but I fear that hit me in the face, especially considering that I wear glasses and may cause more than a cut on his eyebrow if you break my glasses. How to measure the distance between the viewer and the eye? I think the first shot will do without glasses to see if it hit me.

Regards,

Oscar.


This thread isn't to make you worry ovny, but to make you laugh and learn from our mistakes. Get a scope with 4" of eye relief, don't creep up on it and you'll be fine. The 300 Weatherby is a pussycat compared to your 458 Lott.


Regards,

Chuck

The bruise started in the shoulder, that's the blood from the initial impact working it's way down the skin.


Glad to hear it- I got the same bruise from a 7 Rem Mag two weeks ago; a day after I was shooting, I saw the bruise on my upper arm, and for the life of me couldn't remember shooting the rifle from that position, or for that matter, why I'd do such a thing. Confused

I've had a scope cut from a 30-06 taken in the worst field position to take a killing shot at a 400 yard goat. A mate of mine got a scope cut from my .243 (head way to close). I've had brusing up both arms from shooting a 44 Mag Dan Wesson with hot 300gr loads, and a chunk of skin taken out of my index finger from the front sling swivel stud on a Ruger in .458 Win Magnum.

It all adds to the conversation
