[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1306881, member: 74902"] It may well eliminate it. Prone changes a lot of things. It takes out a huge amount of upper body movement versus shooting from a seated position. The shoulder placement on the butt stock is different too, the shoulder usually rides a little higher on the butt and at a more forward angle, this can lessen muzzle jump quite a bit. If you are using a bipod on a softer dirt surface (wood and concrete benches have hard surfaces) you can dig the bipod in a bit and lean into it a bit, this can help stop muzzle rise and the tendency of the barrel to torque left. JE's tip was a good one too about not muscling the rifle into position. The rifle should kinda point naturally on target while it is at rest. You shouldn't be pulling or pushing left or right on the front or back of the rifle. [/QUOTE]
