[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 993691, member: 39801"] I think your plan of getting away from the lead-sled is sound. Go back to front rest/rear bag and see what results you get. I am assuming as a mountain rifle, your set-up is fairly lightweight. This probably contributes to your bouncing. Lighter rifles and higher-recoiling rifles (for me) are more prone to being finicky for how they are held. I have one stubborn rifle in particular that I can move POI a TON by slightly altering shoulder pressure. I would strongly recommend shooting from field positions to get a sense of how your rifle responds - it may be a good lesson you learned using the sled that saves you some grief in the field. A few quick questions: What distance are you shooting at (going .75MOA to 3MOA)? Are your spreads primarily verticle, horizontal, or random? What kind of scope are you running, and what is your ring set-up? Hope you find an easy and obvious solution here! Brandon [/QUOTE]
