Just a quick update:

Took the 30-60 to the range on Saturday morning. Made sure to be more mindful of positioning. It did better, but I still got whacked (although more lightly) a few times. I also found myself burning through the ammo quicker than I wanted. So when I returned home, I went on a quest for a .22. I hit up the gun shops and picked up a Ruger 10/22 and a Leupold VX-I scope.

Took both guns to the range today. The 30-06 wearing the new Leupold, and the 10/22 wearing the crappy factory scope that came with the 30-06. I like my 30-06 a lot better now. And the 10/22 helps to slow down my disposal of 30-06 ammo.

For comparison, when I shouldered the rifle with the "factory" scope on it, I could barely fit 2 fingers width between the scope and my nose. With the Leupold scope, I have at least 4 fingers width of distance.
