[QUOTE="waveslayer, post: 2435448, member: 46202"] If your bipod is bouncing then you're not preloading it. It should not "jump." You should have it move you straight back and the flex is good for recoil mgmt. Body position is key when shooting off a bipod at a bench or prone when on a hard surface. Be straight behind the rifle and not to the side. Most ranges have terrible bench designs so you are to the left or right of your rifle... which causes rifle Jump. I actually sit behind the rifle when I'm forced to use a range with their 1960's bench design. Line up behind the bipod. Harris has almost no flex compared to an Atlas or evolution. Loading the bipod eliminates all the flex and slack from any bipod , tripod etc... so proper loading eliminates all the flex concerns. Using a swivel mount, Arca, Picatinny, Hog/Pig saddle, etc doesn't matter, they all need to be loaded to take up the slack or flex. Fire and your Natural POA should get you right back on target to spot your hits. If you can't spot your hits and are searching for the target after each shot. Body mechanics and proper loading wasn't done. [/QUOTE]
