[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1109140, member: 50867"] A few things that I find are often overlooked. If your rest isn't set up correctly it can influence horizontal spread. Make sure the rest: is nearer to the end of the stock than it is to the stock's balance point has the stock set solidly and firmly in the base of the rest and that the stock is gripped tightly by the sides of the rest pad (assuming you have a rest with a pad that you can snug up horizontally) Make sure: you're hold in the stock with the trigger hand isn't "squeezing" the grip; the rear bag is adjusted to allow the stock to slide back freely to the rear without binding; the cheek weld isn't so firm that it affects the movement of the butt during recoil; the pressure of the butt on the shoulder is consistent, shot to shot (this will have a greater affect on vertical shot placement can can affect horizontal); the seating depth has been refined for the greatest accuracy. When everything else is perfect, seating depth can cause horizontal stringing of shots on target. [/QUOTE]
