[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 44893, member: 3"] Thanks for the report on the H-S rifle. I've had two (2) of their rifles, a 300 Win mag that was tremendous and a 338 Lapua that was NOT tremendous. I make my first long range kill with my H-S 300 Win mag, 905 yards on a bull elk (and got badly flamed for my efforts at posting the experience and method(s)) (pre-Long Range Hunting forums). I'm a little curious about the diagonal groups you mentioned and the thought that the bipod leg difference may have contributed. I have noticed that if I shoot across a side hill and the bipod egs are of different lengths I get not to stellar results too. Maybe you're correct about the trigger and the groups being better "snap shooting" but I notice the same with shooters if the "think" too much about what they're doing and force their shots... maybe the new rifle "feels" different to you and you're being "forced" to shoot. How's the safety? My safety levers were the devil to move, at first I thought the safety didn't work but later determined they were just **** difficult to use. [/QUOTE]
