I'm trying to look at it kind of like a long range high-power shooter, the more weight the more steady, though I do not want to over do it. When I have practiced for the cup I have cleaned everything time and time again, but when I shot in the cup it's a little different story, the best I have ever got in the Bianchi Cup Is 1879 points out of a 1920. I am hoping and planing with a little extra weight to be able to shoot a little better. My goal is to get a perfact sore. As far as the full size aimpoint, it sets up a little higher, I kind of like that for when I shoot the practial part of the match I can lay flat on the ground and see through the sight easy because it sets up higher. I plan on kicking everyone's butt, well except maybe Bruce or Doug- but the thing is they can have a bad day and I could have a good one???
