Probably been addressed before, but here goes............
Bought a .375 H&h earlier this year.....took it out (without a scope) and shot with iron sights; no problems...ran two boxes of factory loads through it with no pain, etc.
Took the rifle out today after mounting a scope on it......after the 3rd or fouth shot, I was in severe pain!!! I now have a bag of frozen peas on my shoulder and aspirin in my system, to be followed by a double dose of Jim Beam after dinner!
Without trying to sound like a schoolyard sissy............WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!!?!?!? It was suggested by one of the other shooters (who noticed me wincing and cursing loudly) that maybe I had my head too high, since the last time I shot it I didn't have a scope on it, and my head would have been down with my cheek on the cheek piece; does this make sense? I didn't try shooting it any more today (don't want to develop a flinch).....I did finish off 50 rounds of .338 Win. Mag and 50 rounds of .30-06, but it was barely tolerable.
Currently thinking of having the gun magnaported.......any thoughts?
