[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 1140411, member: 51405"] I had been using the bipod almost exclusively as I have shot my gun...this gun was new in April, several hundred rounds through it (maybe 300-400). Gun is Holland Signature Series (Borden action), Hart 1/10 24", McMillan stock, 30-06 shooting 180 gr Nosler BT. 57.2 grains of H4350 getting roughly 2840 fps. Took a few long range classes this summer using a bipod prone, shooting at the range using bipod and rear bad. Zeroed and confirmed out to 1000. Went today to do a final practice and confirmation and took the bipod off. I was 1.5MOA or so high at 200, so went back to 100 to get dialed in. I came down 1.5MOA and 1/4 left. Was hitting consistently there at 100..went back to 200 and was dead on when I dialed the solution (1.5MOA). Shot 5 shots at 200 and the 5 shots were about .75 MOA...plenty good enough for the upcoming trips where the shots should be 300 and in. My question is whether the bipod vs no bipod would change zero that much. I am not going to argue with results...just wondering if bipod vs no bipod would change things. On one hand, the results speak for themselves....on the other hand, with a stock as stiff as the McMillan and pillar bedded and floated, I would think it wouldn't change the barrel harmonics or anything else. Only other thing that has changed is weather, but took that into account with shooter app. Darrell mounted the March scope with high quality bases and rings...load didn't change either. What sayeth the hive? Would the bipod removal change things that much? [/QUOTE]
