With my Remington 700 Short-Action .243, I can cycle the bolt and never lose my sight picture.

With my Winchester 70 Long Action, my target is dead in its' tracks after the first shot.

Way to go!

Now just curiosity on my part. Can you, after taking that killer shot, maintain your sight picture, not changing your cheek-weld to the stock, and cycle the next round. Or will your hand or bolt handle impact your face?

I'm curious because I've done most all my hunting with the short action. And yes, I kill on the first shot as well. I'm a boiler room shooter though(except on hogs). No immediate drop, but they don't go far. I've found there's less meat damage on a heart/lung shot, than the neck shot. One's never got away.
