[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1488941, member: 26077"] Stringing shots with a Bi-pod is pretty common, even with lighter recoiling rifles, but the heavy bangers show it easiest. First, try bedding the barrel all the way from the recoil lug to the tip of the forearm. On hunting weight barrels this very often results in vastly improved groups off the Bi=pod and other forearm rested positions. Most guys are fans of floated barrels but you will be amazed at how many lighter contour barrels shoot better fully bedded. Before anyone argues with me, try it. It is easy to bed one and easy to remove it if you don't like it. Second, if you can't put a proper brake on it, at least get it Magnaported to help limit muzzle jump, and, like Cold Trigger said above, learn to shoot it holding the forearm. Most hunting shots you will need to hold the forearm anyhow so learn to shoot it that way from the get go. Holding the forearm also makes the amount of muzzle jump far less variable based on how hard the surface is you are shooting off of. Best of luck, let us know how you make out. [/QUOTE]
