[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 40760, member: 34"] For the record I have many times and still do shoot from a bipod on occasion. My lighter LR carry guns have bipods on them. I feel that with a bipod, your rifle "should" hold 1 MOA "5 shot" groups across the entire course of fire you intend on shooting. That's all that's needed to make the kills on game that we are after. That would be 1" at 100 yards, 5" at 500 yards and 10" at 1000 yards. Most times at 100 yards to 500 yards they are less then 1 MOA. All the group sizes mentioned at the various yardages are well within the kill zone of any big game animals we hunt. Some guns can do better then that from a bipod but, "5 shot" groups and 1 MOA seems to be a standard to go for. If your rifle does better then that out to 1000 yards, your ahead of the game. Remember, thats 5 shot groups though, not 3. Three shot groups should do better then the 1 MOA most every time and at "all" ranges out to 1000 yards. I simply like to work on 5 shots rather then 3 for testing purposes. Those extra 2 shots keeps me on my toes. Many times I've had unreal 3 shot groups and then enlarged it by sending those extra 2 rounds down range. When you do keep all 5 in a small group it is VERY satisfying though. It really doesnt matter if you shoot 3 shots or 5 shots, as long as the groups are within the kill zone area of the game your after and it will do this at the "range limits" you have placed on your bipod rifle. My limit is 1000 to 1250 yards Max with my 7/300 Weatherby light 12# rifle with 30" barrel and bipod attached. I "had" a 40X in the 300 win mag that would do better then 1MOA 5 shot groups with a Bipod attached at most ranges to 1000 yards. It was consistant to. I think that rifle cost me $750.00. A fellow down south bought it from me a few years ago. Later DC [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
