[QUOTE="Boozer, post: 1216683, member: 22146"] I have spent a good amount of time looking at stocks lately, but I cannot justify $500+ for an HS precision, Manners, McMillian, etc. maybe someday,alas but not now. That is why I'm currently trying to make-do until the new Magpul hunter 700 comes out for long action (im shooting 30-06) adjustable LOP, and check piece for around $250. might not be the best stock ever, but I think it will represent an awesome bang for the buck. Fear no wind - I will try using lighter downward head pressure, and will try more POI drills as I'm doing my next load work-up this weekend. hopefully should let me know if I'm exerting any undue force into the system. I never wrap the thumb BTW, big no-no. I'm shooting from a stable bench with a Caldwell tackdriver bag in front and a small rear bag with wings. rear bag is not very firm. it is interesting, while doing the load work-up that was consistently giving me the horizontal, as I did my dry-fire drills, the trigger snap pulled primarily horizontal (which made sense) but even this past time when I was getting primarily vertical, the trigger snap was still pulling horizontal, so that would lead me to believe I'm not necessarily putting force into the rifle, it would be upon major recoil (hence maybe more of the stock getting hung up in the bags theory). thanks for all the pointers guys, I should mention that I'll check action screws etc., but any more suggestions for positioning and holding no-no's that would lead to a vertical dispersion would be much appreciated.
