[QUOTE="bkondeff, post: 995613, member: 10444"] Typically, depending on terrain, yes I have a bipod and then lay over my pack, typically resting the center of the rifle of the rear on it. In the field you typically have to take what is given you to an extent. This is a goat hunt so angle will be a serious factor, meaning my short bipod may be replaced with my stoneypoint tripod adjusted for height, or nothing at all and just my pack. Recently scrapped my 10lb Eberlestock Dragonfly for a 4lb KUIU, which also isn't as good a rest. I do always carry (2), Z-pad(s) strapped outside my pack to use for glassing, but also because they help make a better support for shooting from. Again, I'd ask for feedback on what to do with my "offhand", during the shot, is it okay to put downward pressure on the barrel/Scope/stock? PS I don't intend on changing to lighter bullets, 168gr bullets at 2750 isn't going to whip less than 140gr bullets at 2950 enough to go from .617bc to .500bc and give up the energy downrange, as I do intend to kill elk with this if needed. I tried both 150 and 160 gr TSX and Accubonds and the gun liked the 168's best. My son's .270MR whips as well with 140gr accubonds. [/QUOTE]
