[QUOTE="Browninglover1, post: 666861, member: 29966"] My 22 mag would shoot groups less than half an inch at 100 yards with the 30 grain V Max loads but only when I was shooting prone with a rear bag. If I'd go to the range and sit at a concrete bench my groups would open up to around 1.5 inches. After LOTS of tinkering I discovered the problem, the gun liked to be held TIGHT! If I would pull the gun into my shoulder really tight when shooting from the bench I could get my groups back down to the half inch mark. When I read Broz's thread about getting a solid rear rest to help with your long range groups I immediately thought of this situation with my 22 mag. When I would lay down prone with the back bag, it would lock the rifle in super tight to my shoulder and would allow it to shoot to its full potential. The weird thing is that I've done the same thing with all my rifles and none of them have seemed to care besides that 22 mag. [/QUOTE]
