[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1109510, member: 77249"] If you have a free floated barrel on this rifle get into shooting position ready to fire have someone run a card or paper down around the barrel and see if it is still free floating. Check the scope ring screws and the scope itself. Is there any parallax in the scope and will the scope adjust perfect for different distances. Check if the bipod is giving. If the back sling attachment is rubbing on the back bag it has most of the butt stock weight on it and acts as a pivot point. Remove it and see if that will help. Now To Operator Error. Check the parallax in the scope and make sure your cheek weld is exactly the same each shot. Does the gun kick hard enough to make you twich your shoulder at the shot?? Are you putting your finger to the center of the first pad on the finger each shot? or, Are you DRAGING WOOD with your trigger finger? An old instructors tool is (Be able to slide a pencil between the rifle stock and your finger in position to shoot.) If your finger is touching the stock it will cause horizontal shift ever so little. Once you get the gun problems solved, if any. Get a good instructor to watch you shoot or video you shooting and see if your are changing something now and then on a shot. Good luck and Happy shooting. [/QUOTE]
