[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 872457, member: 17844"] Sorry for the slow reply I am having great difficulty with the site not working right.The gun has the ability to shoot from a QD bi-pod or a BR front rest by adding a bag plate to the Picatinny rail . When I first mounted the Harris bi-pod with an American defence adaptor I noticed that the mate up was a bit inclined to flex . When I went from bi-pod to BR rest the horizontal got better straight away and then worse again going back to bi-pod . So I epoxied the adaptor to the bipod and it improved horizontal . The leg flex and rotating feet on the Harris is also a contributing factor that allows the gun to skate about from side to side under recoil .The vertical is controlled real good by the bi-pod some groups are .25 in vertical and .7 to 1 .5 inch in horizontal @ 100 tried to shoot with no wind but wind could be a slight factor also . Put it on a BR front rest and the group shape changes to less horizontal and more vertical so wind was not the main factor . It's a heavy gun at 17lb and the Harris may just be under to much load so I am going to try an Atlas bi-pod and see what happens. It's a radical design and I might also need to learn how to drive it better but I am fairly sure I am discovering what F class shooters already know . Light flexible bi-pods have their limitations .
