[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1488477, member: 103303"] I got away from the magnum bolt face about 15yrs ago myself. Maintaining POI through different positions is no trivial thing. I like carrying relatively lightweight rifles, don't care for muzzle brakes, but the rifles I like the most are the ones that shoot where they are pointing, regardless of the position or hold. That said, as [USER=2736]@J E Custom[/USER] and others have stated, look into the stock and bedding, you might be able to address some of the issue there. If you're keen on the bi-pod, a tactical stock (with a thick, rigid forend) may also help prevent stressing of the bedding/action . One of the problems could be that you have a relatively heavy rifle supported by the very tip of a slim (and thus flexible) stock. Everyone suggests bags on the bench because it's the easiest way to take the most variables out of the equation. Do you know your rifle/ammo/optics are consistent? If not, start there. If so, game on! [/QUOTE]
