[QUOTE="X-man, post: 168675, member: 8416"] Alan Nice going on the Elk! Contrary to popular belief a bipod can cause fits in the field and the only solution here is lots of practice. One thing I almost mentioned in my last post was that it appeared (to me) that your group had a trigger related problem. Your rifle's forend appears extremely light and I am pretty sure that a heavy trigger and or trigger control is contributing to your group size. Experiment with a lighter trigger set at 4-8 Oz and see if this helps. Rifles with very light forends tend to skate around and throw 12:00 high shots from the pressure of the trigger. Try dry firing the rifle while shooting from an improvised field position and watch the cross hairs. If the hairs move (in the slightest) you need to either lighten the trigger or go to work on a more inline and gentle trigger squeeze. Your rifle (while practical and portable) could prove difficult to master as an extreme range field rifle (as is). Since I only have the one target to review I am taking a bit of a wild guess but, that is what your one target looks like. Keep up the good work and good luck! [/QUOTE]
