[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 1109459, member: 8833"] Welderboy: here are a couple of things I would try - and shooting 1" at 200 you obviously know what you are doing. You may have tried some of this but here are a few things to think about. First of all I would pick out a rock or target at the farthest distance you have available, dry fire and watch for any movement in your crosshairs when the hammer drops. This is the best exercise for me to diagnose operator error. Not knowing what bipod, type of bipod feet or type of surface you are setting your bipod on I have found that the normal rubber feet just don't cut it. I actually dig my bipod spikes into the surface until I feel comfortable both legs are on solid ground. I would suggest you take off your rear sling swivel stud and see if that helps with smoother recoil movement on your rear bag. That stud can act like a jumping pivot point on your rear bag. I go so far as to coat my rear bag with baby powder to allow my stock to recoil with as little resistance as possible. Good luck ad keep with it. [/QUOTE]
