[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 992694, member: 29281"] While you would be better off with made-for-purpose sandbags, I doubt that's your problem. Sometimes the problem can be from inconsistent powder ignition. When it burns right you get one group and in the cartridges it doesn't burn quite right, you get another group. It happens to me to; if someone has the definite answer and cure I'd be most grateful. Some guns do this and some don't so much. It probably has something to do with temperature, humidity, etc. I have mostly higher end scopes; Leupold Mark 4s and Nightforce and it happens to me. Of course, it could be your scope isn't holding zero. Also, if your scope has adjustment for parallax, make sure it's set properly. I would send it back. It won't cost you anything but postage and I think what you describe is a scope problem. I generally shoot just one or two guns during a session but then I don't have to drive to shoot; I have to walk all the way to my back yard. I think with shooting that many guns, I would probably lose some of my concentration. The suggestion was made to shoot prone. While I agree that prone is a very steady position and I've used it hunting for some pretty long shots, it's also uncomfortable for me so I do most of my shooting from the bench. [/QUOTE]
