Hoping some of you fellow shooters can answer a few questions? After checking zero from the bench of off front pedestal and rear sand bag. I backed up to 600 yards and shot again one rifle off of my backpack and it shot 1 MOA lower than BulletFlight said, and another rifle was 2 MOA lower off of bipod. Is this typical, should I change zero to allow for field shooting conditions? Am I doing something wrong? Both rifles shot sub MOA from 600 yards, neither rifle does this if I shoot off of a bench at 600 yards. BulletFlight is spot on and so is my G7 range finder from the bench at 600 yards. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I forgot to mention I always shoot low, those POI shifts are always low whether shooting at game or paper from field positions.

Its not unusual for your POI to change in different shooting positions.
One rifle has Swar. 2.5-15x44, the other has Leupold Mark 4 6.5-20x50, yes both have parallax adjustmwent.
Maybe this will help. I think what you are experiencing is pretty common.

Yep to both.
I have read this article before, but had forgotten about it, very helpful. Thanks
I think my problem is with change in cheek weld from bench to prone.
