[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1303023, member: 7999"] I shoot the same as bng. Difference for me is I have never been able to get consistent performance with a bipod. I have just given up on having a bipod on my rifle. I carry shooting sticks in the field. Between the sticks and my backpack I can usually get the rifle supported so that it will track straight back with as little influence from me as possible. I installed an adjustable cheek rest on my rifle so that I can get good cheek weld regardless of the angle of the shot. I have a short face and found in many situations I would have to float my head in order to get eye alignment with the scope. With the sticks and pack I can duplicate the rifle riding front bag rest and rear bag rest from a bench. Some times I just shoot off the pack. No front or rear rest, jus laying on the pack. Sometimes the pack is the front rest and the sticks go under the rear. What ever it takes for the rifle to sit firmly on target. Then I set myself up with a strong shoulder and a very light touch with the trigger hand. Off hand used to make elevation adjustments if needed. Otherwise off hand used to make me comfortable and stable in the position. Ideally if my gun is in position for a shot I should be able to get off of it and back on it, or let someone else get on it, and it is still on target. Steve [/QUOTE]
