[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 1009961, member: 22335"] Additional thoughts - Which stock? flexible plastic stocks aren't well known for repeatable accuracy. The flex, they put pressure on the barrel in an inconsistent manner, and are made for a price point not for accuracy. What scope? I've spent plenty of time chasing parallax problems in scopes at all price points. The vice isn't helping you at all. You need to learn how to shoot in a repeatable manner, every time. I used to use a Lead Sled, but stopped using it years ago and have done much better without it. Use a good rest (I usually use a Caldwell bag in front, sandbags in the rear) and get solid - see this thread: [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f116/importance-being-solid-91149/[/URL] I usually suggest taking a .22LR along and shooting groups of 10 at 50 or 75 yards. When the groups settle down nice and small start shooting your larger rifle. You can also shoot the 22 between rounds of the 300 WM. I suspect you may be surprised how much it helps. [/QUOTE]
