[QUOTE="willyqbc, post: 1500033, member: 17279"] Howdy all! Looooong time lurker, first time poster. Lookin to tap into the knowledge here around precision long range shooting! so here goes.... Having recently completed the sub MOA 300yd challenge ( by the skin of my teeth), first thought through my mind was that i need to do it better. Lots of folks here and other places seem to think the detached front rest system is more accurate than the lead slead....so I figure I better give it a try! Picked up a "rock jr" as I figured all the extra gucci adjustments weren't needed for my level of shooting. Found the bag to be quite sloppy with just the velrco, so made a cradle for it to firm it up and bolted it on to the rest. [img]https://i.imgur.com/sS065YQ.jpg[/img] Also found the height of both front rest and a rear bag I had to be way too low for me and very uncomfortable, so shimmed them up to a comfortable height. Off to the range this morning to try it out and get a feel for it....this is how I'm set up [img]https://i.imgur.com/SoJzTBs.jpg[/img] Fired three 5 shot groups at 110....center group was one hand on rifle, barely any pressure on my shoulder, top left was one hand and firmly shouldered, top right was both hands, firmly holding the rifle [img]https://i.imgur.com/nznEvqt.jpg?1[/img] Not the result I was expecting [IMG]http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/smilies/icon_cry.gif[/IMG]. all shots, felt very still and solid, and I felt like I stayed with each one through the follow through. Off the lead slead, this load has shown to be a pretty consistant 3/4" ish, with single digit SD. So like most things, I can only assume some operator error has resulted in these groups. This is where all you knowledgeable shooters come in....What are the tricks of the trade to achieve precision in this sort of rest arrangement? Thanks in advance Chris [/QUOTE]
