Wahnie, if you have a decent weight rifle and shoot it regularly it won't beat you too bad, and never in hunting situations. You'll feel it most from the bench, but you only need to do that for load testing, accuracy, etc. From normal shooting positions, standing supported or freehand, kneeling, etc, it's not bad at all. I've got a Steyr Mannlicher Safari, set trigger, rotary mag, topped with a Dr Optik 1.5-6x42, and it really surprised me with it's accuracy.

But, remember to keep a little clearance between your eyeball and the end of that scope -- I've felt it and come close, but no blood yet!!

LCooper, I meant for the accuracy -- I can't crowd the scope like the hornet that's for darn sure!
