[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 2209638, member: 74902"] Could be that you just don't know how to shoot a heavy recoiling light rifle. The excessive muzzle jump can wreak havoc with your groups. Are you holding the front of the rifle down or doing the "long range" thing where you keep your non trigger hand on the rear beanie bag? Lots of times it's good to hold the front of the rifle on light rife. Even the slant of the butt plate can make a difference on a light magnum rifle. Ever notice the slant angle on a big Weatherby? The butt angle is heavily angled so that the rife jumps at the muzzle under recoil instead of driving the scope into your face... [/QUOTE]
