[QUOTE="X-man, post: 805635, member: 8416"] A level is a good idea beyond 1k, but I doubt it will fix your accuracy issue unless you are tipping the rifle back and forth 5-10 degrees in opposite directions? Lots of guys develop a load from the bench then take it to distance and wonder why they can't hit well at distance and off the bipod (it isn't the bipod btw). Most long range problems happen behind the rifle. Here is a test for you (assuming you have an accurate rifle). Drop back to 100-200 yards (I prefer 200) and get behind the rifle prone (on a bipod) and try to drill some 5 shot 1/2 moa groups. Not getting 1/2 MOA? Consult your mirror, then get back to basics. NPA, trigger control, rifle control (under recoil), cheek weld, bla bla bla. To fix the problem you need to figure out what it is that you are doing wrong. Good luck bro!! [/QUOTE]
