I just bought my first rifle. It is a .223 Remington VLS with a Harris bipod and a Leupold VXII 4x12-40mm scope. I bought this rifle solely as a range target rifle and not for hunting. I even have reloading for .223 in mind for the future. My question is that I'd rather shoot from the prone position as opposed to the bench. It brings me back to the rifle team days of high school and that was why I wanted a bipod on it. Now as far as the scope was concerned. When laying behind the rifle the scope seem too far back which causes me to have my head cocked back off of the stock to get a good sight picture. I didn't set the rifle up. My local gun store did the day I bought it after telling them exactly what rifle I wanted and what I wanted on it. Is there a differance in scope postion between the two shooting positions? Am I weired for wanting to lay on a shooting mat as opposed to shooting from a rest .
Thanks, Flip.
