Took a pounding, but found a sweet spot!

Hit the range again this morning, still testing loads in a couple of leverguns. The pictured one's a sweetheart - .444S wearing a Schmidt & Bender 1.5-6X42 30mm tube on QW mounts. Bit of an imbalance maybe? But I was shocked - into the sun every scope I had suffered from glare but one. Worst to best was Redfield, Elite 4200, Zeiss was actually not too bad but I was astonished by the S&B - absolutely glare free, brilliantly clear even with the sun straight away and just above the line of sight. Never seen anything like it - revised my opinion from S&B being one of the best, to being absolutely the best glass in the world, barre none. Couldn't believe it. The tight 350 gr group is courtesy of my .45-70 XLR, 2 actually in the same hole, but 2 days in a row with that monster I'm definitely feeling! The softball was a single .243 58gr Varminator @ 300 yds - more luck than anything. Sighted in at about 1.5-1.75" high at 100, then took a shot (W'by Vanguard subMOA, Elite 4200). The rifle shown is the .444S - pretty ain't she? Pretty stiff with 300's loaded up though - took 4 in a row right in the beak, last one split me open - HAR-HAR! Don't know how you big magnum long-range BR guys do it. Guess it's time to invest in some Decelarators!
