Nice looking setup, Six5x39. Interesting stencil.
"Turkey Necking", for those who don't know, describes moving your head forward or backward along the stock to get a proper sight picture - usually a result of a scope mounted too far forward or back.
What I actually meant to say was "Goose Necking", which is stretching one's head above the rifle's cheek rest to to see through the scope, resulting in a loss of contact with the rifle's cheek rest. The end result is that you have no consistent alignment of eye and reticle.
Neither behaviors are desirable, and both can be corrected by either repositioning the scope or changing the check rest.

If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
