The moment of impulse from the 378 is greater than that of the jack hammer. Whilst the jack hammer provides a dramatic visual, it doesn't actually compare to the force imparted by a cartridge with large case capacity launching a heavy bullet.

I heard that was an issue from other sources also
Dixi, where abouts were you hunting here in Saskatchewan and if I may ask was it Whitetail? I have by the sounds of it the same scope as you and I never had that problem. I am wondering if Leupold could do something for you regarding making the ring easier to turn?
Blessings,
Dan

You were almost in Alberta! Good area for whitetail, as evidenced by your success.
Dixi, that is some dandy Whitetail country. I have never hunted that far north but did hunt the Maidstone country a few times which is south of there a few miles.
Well I sure hope that Leupold would help you out on the power ring. I have always had top shelf customer service from them in the past.

Thanks drmike and yes sask it is awesome.... I will be going back
As far as Leupold, I won't even send it in. I leave it on 6x when shots are more than 100 yards and 4x when they are less. It's mounted and sighted, I ain't touching it. I did sell a Schmidt and bender and like this leupold I replaced it with more
The vx6 is awesome

That is quite a statement! Schmidt and Bender is assuredly quality glass. I do like the colouring job on your stock, consequently.

Thanks guys
Yeah it's a custom 308win
I'll spare you the details unless you ask for them
Basically it's a Rem 700 clone
As far as glass, I do not feel that in 2013, Germans have super duper secret technology that makes them infinitely brighter glass
The Schmidt was nice but heavier, less eye relief, field curvature at lower powers, and was a lonnnggg monstrous scope.
The Leupold you just have a great reticle, great picture and lonnnggggg, forgiving, non-critical, eye relief
