[QUOTE="BENNYBOOBOO, post: 242466, member: 11190"] This makes perfect sense. I did some playing around last weekend and while I made an effort to get more-behind the rifle I also played with cheek-weld (I know, I know...) What I was doing was holding everything extremely hard- a super hard, Andre the Giant bear hug type hold I suppose. Then decided to not push my cheek into the rifle, but just rest the weight of my melon on the stock. At the same time using a firm, but not death-grip, hold with my trigger hand pulling the rifle back into my shoulder so as to limit the amount of travel while tracking, yet not pushing the rifle forward. What a balancing act that was. Spent most of my time focusing on rifle hold, sight alignment, and trigger pull. So much time that after almost two hours I had only fired 15 rounds into three 5-shot groups that measured .6 moa, .4 moa, and .35 moa including fouling shots at 100 yards. While the group size didn't incease much (they've always been about .5 moa with this setup), I was looking at my own target board when the follow-through was over. Sometimes looking high, sometimes a bit right, but my own board. And I thought I could shoot because my groups were nice. Thanks for the help fellas. [/QUOTE]
