I guess my initial comment on the "test forum" didn't post lol. My response to that one which I really appreciate that knowledge by the way didn't post. But here's my post.
Thanks a ton for getting my brain straight! I stand 6' 2" and have a long wingspan. Setting my length of pull for years now has been like 15" (In setting it I had actually been doing it right all this time (not from the trigger but the base of the stock behind) but didn't know until I read this forum). I like my body super square, wrist, forearm straight, linear and relaxed when I bring the thing up to the shoulder and have instant view through the glass. Well recently I realized that I had begun fighting the weapon after 40 rounds or so because unbeknownst to me I was getting fatigued. I truly was stretching my neck too far when taking aim and realized it this past weekend when I started sucking! When I got to 60 rounds and shooting for 760 yards I couldn't hit a damn target; just too tired.
Thanks to this post I realized that I had in fact been doing something wrong for a while now and having too much length of pull and decided to make a 1/2" adjustment. I've dry fired quite a bit since the adjustment and all is still real comfortable. I will provide a "range report" after testing this weekend. I may have a bit more recoil control now as well.
I have to laugh, it's either that adjustment or find some way to bring the scope back on the rings 1/2" inch which is not possible since there is only 1/4" inch left on the rings.
Time to really adapt to the weapon correctly!
