[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1197068, member: 30902"] That explains a lot, thanks. With the sporter weight barrel and stock you're going to have a considerable "hop" when you shoot it no matter how much you fight it and in fact I've found shooting them off of a bipod will tend to increase the hop. As someone suggest above you might do better with "free recoil" and shooting off of bags. When you pull the trigger there is a whole lot of energy being released including a downward whip on the barrel. It then springs back upward because there's no shock absorbers built into the bipod. Shooting off of bags reduces that a good bit and simply going with the recoil rather than fighting it will allow it to slide more straight back with less of a hop. You may very well also be leaning into it an extra bit in anticipation of the recoil which will tend to make your rounds go high and left. Try relaxing a good bit and just "go with it" and see how that works out for you. [/QUOTE]
