[QUOTE="RFtinkerer, post: 546295, member: 34460"] Ed, Thanks for your reply! 1) I've tried to eliminate flinching through dry firing practice, 22 practice. Also, the muzzle brake helps and I don't THINK it's an issue. The fact some ammo groups while others don't is an indicator flinching is not the *main* culprit (though it could be a contributor). 2) My scope is a Vortex 6-24x50 PST, rings are Vortex, probably overtorqued. Vortex has a decent rep. 3) Ear muffs, off a bipod, shot on a bench and prone on the ground. 4) Bench, prone bipod supported, rear bag. 5) Probably far too fast. I shoot about 30 seconds apart, and wait nowhere near as long as you between groups. Could this be a contributor? Patience is a problem with me. I'm used to blasting away with a 22, maybe I am not properly patient with this beast. It IS quite a jump, and I did have some learning curve shooting this. I subscribed to the Hide's online training and learned some, though probably not as good as an individual teacher. I have no shooting friends...I could benefit with someone who is a known good shooter with a known good rifle/load combo to see if we can trade rifles and find who or what is the issue. Anyone in KC want to go shooting at Parma Woods some weekend? :D [/QUOTE]
