[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 764081, member: 61747"] I have a 6.5x284 in a savage 116. The rifle is 11 lbs ready to rock. At 800 yards a couple of days ago I was able to see the hits on all but my first shot. I did a 3 shot group from a rest, laying on the ground. I then shot another 10 or so from a *** stoney point bipod. Before this day I had a bit of trouble spotting. What I found is that the 284 needs to recoil straight back and not bounce. For me, if I hug the rifle a tad and push it forward in the pod or rest I can stay in line. Now keep in mind, I didn't get to see the bullet in flight but I did see the impact. Before this I had talked to a gun smith about braking. I think I might be OK now if I just follow this technique, which is also used by Gunwerxs. They have a vid in the vid section showing this tech which is where I got the idea. I tried it. It worked. [/QUOTE]
