Ahh yes the space between the shoulder thing is what I really meant. I just don't really know what the term for it is either..haha.

And yeah the cranking neck thing just seems so unnatural, yet I see a lot of people do it.

I've also heard that when you are moving while aiming down the sights (this applies to pistols as well), when you turn, never turn with your arms first...in other words never try to move your sights by using your arms, always use your footwork and the rest of your body to bring the new target to your sights. The whole aiming apparatus in the upper body should not move at all.
What if you need to scan around quickly for situational awareness? Surely it takes less work and time to turn your head than turning your whole body? That would momentarily break your aiming setup, but if you are making sure to bring your sights to your eyes instead of your eyes to your sights (like you say), it should take minimal work to aim down the sights again?

Is torso movement allowed? It would take less time to switch the target if you turn with your torso as well, instead of just relying on your feet, right? Maybe torso is not the right part. I think I mean turning slightly at the waist...
