Allen,
I would agree with the "too light" trigger pull and am guilty of the same. What this thread doesn't discuss is scope failure...I have had this happen on safari also. Once in the Limpopo area of the RSA my .338 took a hard knock climbing out of the bakkie which blew the adjustments in my Zeiss scope and caused me some pain and suffering until I realized it was the scope and not the rifle. Thank goodness I had learned my lesson (see lesson #2 above)earlier and had a back-up rifle. Found out it was the scope after I got her home and stuck a bore sighter on the rifle. Live, hunt and learn!
