[QUOTE="scsims, post: 724951, member: 9755"] SBruce, I usually use a firm grip with my right hand (trigger hand) and hold the rear bag with my left hand. The trigger pull isn't that good on one of the rifles, it has a Rem Xmark at about 4lbs. The other is better, an older style Remington at about 2 lbs. To answer the scope mounting question I used a Wheeler scope leveler when installing the scopes and I tested for cant at 100 yards by having a verticle line on the target. Then adjusting the scope up 20 moa and shooting a group. Both rifles grouped around the line. I just checked the parallax on both again this morning..... and your right I must have been moving the rifle for the side to side reticle movement I was getting. When I have it at 20x there isn't much movement you can do before you lose the site picture in these scopes. Maybe I shouldn't always target shoot at 20x??? I also noticed that when I shot at 300 yards in the morning with a heavy frost on.... about 28 degrees my goups were lower than expected by about .5 moa. Then at luch I shot again at 50 degrees and they were back on target. I'm using IMR 4831 in one and varget in the other. [/QUOTE]
