[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1489447, member: 10755"] Shooting off a bench is totally different to shooting off a bi-pod from prone or sitting in the field. I have a few 338WM’s, a Model 70 EW that is a pussycat to shoot from any position, 2 Kimber 8400’s in select grade and Super America and a Rem 700 KS. The latter being harsh in recoil due to the hard rubber factory pad, the other 3 all have decelerators on them which dampen recoil very well. The muzzle jump you are experiencing is most likely from the concrete bench and not loading the bi-pod heavily enough. I always use a couple of beach towels under my rifles on concrete benches, this dampens some of the bounce favourably. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
