[QUOTE="J Doss, post: 1671642, member: 109284"] You are definitely on the right track. Another suggestion is to try shouldering your rifle before getting into shooting position. Part of the diff you are seeing shooting off different platforms from the bench is in shouldering your weapon. As you change shouldering positions it changes head position on the weapon thus changing eye to scope position. Try looking through your scope on target, then slightly shift your head left, right, up, down. What does your target centering do with each shift? It doesn't take much of a change in head positioning to make inches or feet of difference at range. This has helped me more with hunting shot placement consistency than anything except practice, practice, practice. Note: I haven't tried this with FFP scopes. They may take some of the shift out. Just a thought? Keep it up! [/QUOTE]
