[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1978745, member: 10755"] Your problem will stem from the bi-pod. Been there done that. I have a few Kimbers that shoot terrible off a bi-pod, if I shoot off my pack, like I do when hunting, they all print little itty bitty clovers. The only lightweight rigs I own that actually shoot off bi-pods ok are my Win Model 70 EW’s in 300WM & 338WM. My Featherweight was also terrible but my Super Grade is also just fine with them. Even my Rem 700 338EDGE had issues with a bi-pod. There is an actual ‘thing’ with bi-pods and hard surfaces, it is known as recoil bounce. I used to use 2 towels folded under the bi-pod to minimise the bounce, but it still had some affect even though I loaded the bi-pod hard. I use a Caldwell front rest now...buy once, cry once. Cheers.
