[QUOTE="Tommo64, post: 1979862, member: 107976"] I have had similar experiences with my Tikka T3X lite 308. A lightweight rifle and a bipod shooting off a hard bench is not the best combo. Good technique will help I'm sure but personally I have had better results with either a Caldwell front rest or bag. You also have to control the fore end to prevent excessive muzzle rise with the lightweight rifles for consistent groups. If you're planning on using your bipod in the field I would suggest you check your POI with it in a field situation and adjust zero as required prior to going out on a hunt as it will most likely have changed from your bench rest set up.
