[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 1932078, member: 17889"] How much shift? Elevation or horizontal shift....both? Sure the only variable is the bags versus bipod? Often several variables sneak in causing POI shift. Same day? Atmospheric variables? Distance? Same ammo? Loading the bipod? No loading off bags? Type of bipod feet? Surface bipod feet are on? Were you shooting on a bench with the bags...off to one side? Shooting prone with the bipod...directly behind rifle, "little green plastic army man" angled? Different shooting positions can change POI....different recoil management, natural point of aim, parallax adjustment, no wind from range bench versus wind in field from bipod. Many individuals shoot off bipods. But, they don't realize the variables that can input. The feet can skitter on concrete, wood; react differently in field on vegetation, rocks, etc. I shoot off a pack or shooting bags. I find the rifle recoils more consistently and I have better recoil management. I like both front and rear bags with ears. I find they hold the rifle steadier. Off a pack I will form the pack to form ears....like a trough. Carefully reflect on the shooting variables. Don't forget the most inconsistent variable....the shooter. Did you repeat to confirm?
