Thank you for all your help guys,really appreciate any suggestions.... Have altered my caldwell tripod so it is placed further back away from forend an a little closer towards reciever. Have also taken a little sand out of my front rest so its not quite so tight as i notice my rifles seem to jump after firing.
Buffalobob,will try your suggestion of a little buffering between fore end and front rest...
Bit of an update on this for you guys who offered suggestion...
Been out the rifle range last 2days with excellent results. The bench set ups where I shoot are made of moulded solid concrete. Normally i just put my caldwell tripod and bag straight down on to bare concrete.....
I did what I used to do up untill about 2years ago and put a strip of carpet back underneath tripod and bag..
What a difference it made,no more stringing of shots,just good hunting accuracy.Managed to duplicate some groups of under .5-.75" from my std 7mm08 sporter with 120ttsx...Im stoked!!!
In my life I have made some good shots and some really stupid misses. At least half the misses come from resting the rifle on a limb, fencepost, rock or other hard objects. Your rifle and shooting style seems to be sensitive to shooting from a hard rest - remember that when it is time to hunt. Good luck to you.
