[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 213573, member: 8"] Wrap your hand around the barrel and foreend and squeeze. If the barrel hits the stock then you either have a flexible stock or else you are a gorilla and have just bent your barrel. Don't squeeze it too hard next time. Try resting the forestock a little further back next time you shot and see if that helps. Secondly, in the Martian Chronicles, Ray Bradbury doesn't mention parallax but he should have. It is very peculiar and happens when you don't get your head in the correct position on the stock with a non AO scope. Down in the optics section is a whole long sticky on it. Up on the front page is an an article on it. Make sure that stockweld is not your problem. Finally, as stupid as it may be, try putting a towel or other cloth between the foreend and your front rest and see if "buffering" the rest will help. It is possible to make a rifle bounce erratically on recoil. [/QUOTE]
