[QUOTE="Goofycat, post: 363280, member: 6504"] Seems to me that barrel-mounted bipods would not be good if the rifle were used for bench rest competition, but I don't see where it would affect varmint-type accuracy, unless the shots were long ones. Sometimes you can go crazy with trying to get groups in the ones with a varmint rifle, and even crazier when you don't get them. Frankly, I was raised on bench rest and find it difficult to get out of that mold, even though MOA accuracy should be fine for all but the smallest varmints at long ranges. I don't care about 1/2-inch groups at 300 yards. If I can kill ground squirrels (about the size of a tall beer can) at that distance, I really don't care if the bullet hits the neck area when I was really aiming at his eyeballs. The results are the same: red mist! Besides, without a spotter, it is a waste of my handloads to try to get this type of accuracy with the guns I use in the windy conditions I usually find myself in.
