[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1487586, member: 2736"] Shooting off a by pod requires some training. By-pods load a stock badly near the front of the fore arm and this has to be compensated for. A sand bag under the fore arm close to the front action screw will give you better consistency. But if you still want to use a by-pod, you must get use to pre-loading it before you shoot. The normal way to do this is to push the rifle forward once you get ready to shoot. this forces the by-pod to push the stock fore end away from the barrel and prevents it touching the barrel. You can test the effects by simply standing the rifle on the butt and extending the by-pod out, hold the rifle barrel with one hand and push down or pull up on the by-pod feet and watch the gap between the stock and the barrel increase or decrease . leaning into the rifle and by-pod will also reduce felt recoil. Muzzle brakes will only reduce recoil, they will have no effects on a by-pod and it's forces on the stock. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
