[QUOTE="RD57, post: 2231626, member: 103010"] Lots of guys with some great experience lessons and a great refresher. Was watching a friend shoot at the range with a known accurate rifle and he was having issues with a flier too which he and I haven't seen that rifle have before. He had me shoot 3 rounds and sure enough my group had a single flier out with two touching. So I checked his expensive front benchrest with multiple adjustments and sure enough it was loose and was moving during recoil. Tightened the rest up and the flier disappeared. Had similar thing happen to me with a 270 Win Featherweight rifle that used to shoot less than 0.5 inch groups at 100 yards with 130 Nosler Partitions. Couldn't get a descent group with my new shooting rest, went back to holding the stock like I was hunting with it off a sandbag and my good groups came back. Every rifle has its own personality and likes to be held differently, but if that isn't the problem then I go to scope mounting and rifle bedding next. Carlos88 explained a similar situation I had with a front action screw but mine was with a Mauser 98, took me 3 weeks to figure that one out with a little Dykem! [/QUOTE]
