[QUOTE="MajorSpittle, post: 1800765, member: 53101"] I never lock in my rifles. My groups are either prone or bench, sometimes bi-pod and sometime bag depending on rifle setup. I will shoot multiple rifles routinely while working up loads. It never ceases to amaze me how tight I can keep the crosshairs on target at 100 yrds. I will have issues with a new rifle not grouping and end up checking and rechecking my form/rest/... but then I will shoot my tikka '06 and make a bug hole and think "it sure the hell isn't me causing the MOA+ groups". I figure that in a typical 5rnd group that the most variance I cause from variance in my sight picture is ~1/4" because rarely do I get groups over .5 MOA with my '06 shooting a particular load I have. And yes, I realize I can cause MOA+ groups because different rifles sometimes need to be shot differently to perform to their best potential. [/QUOTE]
