[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2587501, member: 101859"] Next time your at the range and have your rifle on the bipod and rear bag take 2 fingers and grip the top of the butt stock near the recoil pad. Twist slightly. Your trying to simulate the torque of the rifling twisting up the bullet. Look through the scope. You will see the crosshairs more horizontally. This is why you will see a lot of width in really light guns groups. You will shoot some good groups but that horizontal shot will always pop up. Mass is the only way to fix that. Sometimes it only takes a pound, it just depends on the cartridge. The ultralight rifle is a specialized tool for extreme hunts. 99% of guys are far better off with a more balanced rifle. [/QUOTE]
