[QUOTE="Welderboy11972, post: 1110026, member: 91394"] Guys I want to thank all of you for your help. Just got back from the range and boy I'm glad you all wasn't over there with me. I would be shunned from the herd..haha. Took all the suggestions you posted, made a check list. The rifle, scope, and bipods were all tight and good to go. Got to the range, found I wasn't. Checked the rifle last night, removed the sling swivel stud, retighten the bipod. With my first shot, my gun did a little penguin dance on the bipods. Had some muzzle rise with recoil. Found a flat, almost empty, sand bag to put the bipod feet on. Fix that problem. I noticed that when I pulled the rifle into my shoulder, I was squeezing it some. Found a fix for that. Instead of laying my thumb across the top, I made it lay down on the side of my hand. Kind of like where your thumb, on your off hand ( that is left hand for right handed shooter), should be when shooting a 1911 pistol. That made it almost impossible for me to squeeze. Just lock my 3 fingers and pull straight back into my sholder. The 200 yard bench at the range where I shoot is kind of tall, the set is short compared to the bench top. I found that It was causing me to sit with my lower back overly straight and my sholder rolled back. Like I was stretching to get into a good shooting position. I found 2 more sand bags, put them under my butt. Now I could relaxe my lower back, roll my sholder forward. It was much more comfortable now, almost felt natural. Noticed my chest was up against the bottom/side of the stock, in that uncomfortable position. I really picked my shooting form apart this evening. THANKS EVERYONE!! YOU GUYS REALLY KNOW YOUR STUFF. OH...I all most forgot. With all the picking I was doing, I kinda lost interest in what setting depth tighten my groups up. I was trying to repeat everything the same after I figured out what I was doing wrong. I very happy to say, you guys fixed me. My best group was the 0.030 off the lands. My vertical opened up alittle, ( from around 0.350 to about 0.50) my horizontal closed alot. ( from 1.00 to around .250) THANK AGAIN GUYS, COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT!!! [/QUOTE]
