[QUOTE="shooters, post: 1014076, member: 7769"] Need some opinions from experts in shooting and bench shooting. I currently have a Savage 6.5-284 that Im working with. Gun shoots 1" MOA all day if I do my part. Here is my setup, but not sure its needed. It may help in answering my questions. Savage Model 116 Weather Warrior Zeiss 5-20-50 HD5 140g Berger VLDs 56g MagPro Powder Lapua Brass @ 2.160 Loaded @ 3.190 Both sling studs removed from rifle. When sighting in the rifle and bench shooting, Im shooting off a Caldwell Rock Solid front rest and a Caldwell rear bag. Here is kind of where my questions start in shooting inconsistencies. At 100 yards, the gun holds a 4 shot group about 1.65" high. At 200 yards, its center right where Im aiming and under a 2" group. These are both shooting off the Caldwell front and rear rest. Zero side to side pressure or downward pressure on the stock or barrel. I do not hold the rifle with my left hand. Just let the gun recoil as needed. Have same trigger pressure/pull as well. Now, I literally remove the Caldwell rest, and put the gun on my Kuiu pack just as I would out in the field in a hunting situation. The gun will still hold the 1" group at 100 yards, but now instead of being 1.65" high at 100, its right center of where Im aiming. So basically dead on at 100. At 200 yards, its about 3.5" low. Now, I obviously sight my rifle in off my bag, the same way I will use it in the field. Are these numbers right, or should they be the same whether Im shooting off the Caldwell or using my bag? Sorry for the long post, just didnt want to miss any info. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
