[QUOTE="winmag, post: 677701, member: 22166"] Ya, that's a good read, but doesn't explain my post. Basically, if I grip my rifles forend & cradle in tight for a "solid hold" my stock flexed ever so little, but shows a drastic effect! Same thing with bipods on my rifle. If I pre load or "flex" them by leaning into them hard enough to get solid resistance, my groups go to crap. My barrel is floated, but action is not glassed in. I can tell you with absolute certainty that somehow the pressure put on the forend, by my grip, or the pre loaded bipods causes me grief. My rifle will not shoot well at all like that. If I use my left hand at all, its only on the buttstock. I simply let the front ride, & put no pressure what so ever forend, or on the bipods. It was a slight change in technique that revealed the flexing stock caused by loading the bipods. The accuracy is there. Sometimes,its a ever so slight change to your technique that makes the world of difference. Like Wildrose said, NOBODY is judging you, or your brother. We've ALL been there at some point, & will likely have to rely on our buddies again for advise in the future. That's what LRH is for. Sometimes it just takes someone who's been there before, to point out subtle little things that can make all the difference. You'll no doubt track down the culprit, & get it corrected if your persistant. Then inevitably, you'll run accross someone with a simmilar problem, & may be able to offer your own hands on advise. Good luck, [/QUOTE]
