[QUOTE="tdot, post: 1680151, member: 91330"] I watched a friend be tortured by a similar problem. He's an excellent bolt gun bench rest shooter, but when he bought a semi aut . He couldnt shoot worth a ****. Turned out he would adjust his position/hold everytime he cycled the bolt.... but wouldnt on the semi auto. The recoil would change his position just enough and without resetting his hold it messed with the way the rifle recoiled on the next shot. Once he more closely mimicked his actions behind a bolt action, his groups were back to where they'd be expected. I believe that was with a 308, so maybe a bit more recoil then a 243 [/QUOTE]
