[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 1489592, member: 17889"] Loading a bipod foreshortens (reduces) the effective vertical height of the bipod.....like a clock hand moving off of 12 position. Upon recoil, this height reduction is regained pushing the fore end...and barrel...vertically. Typically causes vertical rise or stringing of group. Bipod feet also commonly skitter across a bench surface in recoil. As suggested earlier in replies, ditch the bipod; use bag/pack under fore end and allow rifle to slide rearward with recoil.
