[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1858544, member: 85987"] You are not lined up for npa you are pointing your body at 1230 and the rifle at 1200. You're rolling your head over so the comb needs to come up also. You need an adjustable butt pad it is too low for good recoil management. This is a bit of expansion on what you are trying to do when you line the spine up with the rifle. In the position, you are in you are more like a hinge vs a fence post. I'm exaggerating a bit so you can visualize it. The gun by not being in line with your spine will act more like a hinge and move further than if you reposition your hips to the right, your left leg straighter and right leg further right or whatever is comfortable. I will bend my right knee and dig in my toes on hard kicking rifles for more purchase. Dial your scope back to 8 or 10 and shoot the way you are and then as close as I just described. Don't look at group size or how close to the bullseye you just shot. Look at where the rifle is after the shot. You should be within 2 moa of point of aim when you have this down. You will get there it just takes proper practice You can address your comb height with foam rubber and tape or a cheek pad (do the foam first so you know which height to buy if you're going to buy it) The buttplate is a purchase as is will be tough to get to 2moa.
