[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 613844, member: 17844"] If you are using a Harris bi-pod with notched legs and springs in the legs , don't shoot off the lowest setting as it will bounce on the springs , use the first notch position as the lowest setting. Also preloading a bi-pod means that you actually push the bi-pod forward to take out the play and any slack . Also when shooting from prone on the ground the legs will dig a hole from recoil and if you don't preload it forward each shot , under recoil the foot may jam up on the back edge of the hole . You may be allowing too much recoil movement rearwards . Get the kick pad on your shoulder properly and grip the gun firmly. Some stock configurations don't work well for both bench and prone positions unless they are adjustable . Recoil from the bench is harder to control because less of your body weight is actually behind the gun in a BR sitting position . That video might mean something if we knew what cartridges they used and what loads they used . I did not see any real heavy recoil present except on one gun. The first gun seemed to be shooting light loads of some kind . However they did control what ever recoil was there because they held onto the gun well. Good stock design and the heavy barrels also help a lot . [/QUOTE]
