Sticks upgrade suggestions

[monarman]

He's already admitted that he can shoot fine from sticks with a normal scope..... so as I've already broached.... the sticks aren't the issue..
Muzzle flip is more evident with wrong/unpracticed technique with the equipment being used.

How.long has the op.been using the alpex compared to a normal scope?...
And if I was to be brutally honest.... is the "last hour of light gain" that important when the shooter is potentially not shooting as accurate (potential for bad shot placement more prevelant) with the digital scope as they are with conventional glass?

Perhaps more practice with the set up to learn how to negate or at least work with the "muzzle flip" so that it becomes.no longer an issue?

Another possibility is that it's not actual "muzzle.flip" bit more the sight picture being different due a slight change in head position on the stock when the eye is up to the wobbly rubber eyepiece of the alpex?...

I use a shutter cup on the Drone 10 mounted on the .243 which makes eye relief better as the distance pushes the scope back along the rail to the chamber. I shoot both R/H rifles and am left handed.
Same stocks just I packed the comb on the drone rifle to match the C/L of the z6.
Same eye relief Same lop

Or try a DPT moderator with the modular brake.

Makes a considerable difference recoil wise. I can now watch my shot hits.

Hey, not a shot placement issue at all, it’s just a ‘seeing the bullet strike’ issue.

Eye position is definately a thing, I will be buying a new stick when trump finishes crashing the global economy …

Since moving to Alpex 4k I’ve become more aware of muzzle flip, even with 6.5cm, from my basic model 4 stable sticks

I’d like to move to something as portable but a lot more stable, maybe even the 5 leg versions..

Question is, which one?

It’s possible to add a fifth leg to the 4 stable sticks, I have done so, and I also have added a viper fifth leg to the Mjoelner sticks with no problems. This being said, I only ever use these 5 legged sticks for zeroing purposes, and do my actual stalking with a mark 1 ‘Trigger’s Broom’ type wooden three-legged sticks setup, which has served me well these past forty years, being good enough for achieving the shot placement within the distances I typically shoot over, and (personally speaking) are a much quicker (2 second) deployment and are much less fussy to set-up for getting me on target.

Muzzle flip should only occur after the bullet has left the rifle, and should not affect the outcome, but it is indeed best to be able to see the bullet strike if at all possible.
