[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 872670, member: 51650"] Bullet Bumper Thanks for your input. I am now going to change my search parameters for front rests. Maybe look at a stand alone device to prop up the fore end. Just got back from the range and my Savage in 375 Ruger is generating 3000fps w/ a 260gr Nolser AccuBond. The 375 caliber AccuBonds are a moderately high ballistic coefficient (0.473) and this load will shoot pretty flat past 700yds. But my goal was 2000ftlbs and 1800fps (lower expansion limit of the Accubonds). The load is @ a ton @ 633yds and 1800fps @ 677yds. Sighted @ 285yds it never rises above 4" (160yds) and drops to - 6" @360yds. It drops 60" (5ft) @ about 615yds. The recoil is fierce so a conventional bipod is not up to it. Something else is necessary. Keep us posted on your bipod search as I am interested in your findings. Clearly this hobby is pushing the edge. Another reason to cut the weight if we can without compromising the accuracy we need and seek. Kennibear [/QUOTE]
