[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2808945, member: 42494"] Ducky, light rifle foreends will jump up off your rest or a bipod during firing causing larger groups. Try holding the foreend down lightly onto your rest with your free hand so it doesn't jump up as violently during recoil. I prefer grasping the bottom of the forearm behind the rest like you'd hold it during hunting rather than placing my hand on top of the barrel infront of the scope. I'm afraid placing my hand on top of the barrel may change the harmonics and that's not how you'd hold a rifle while hunting. Also be careful your front sling stud is not recoiling into your rest and the rear sling stud is not contacting the rear bag. This will also cause larger groups from the heavy recoil of a light rifle. [/QUOTE]
