Thread: Bipod affecting accuracy.

How many people actually take their rifle, move the pressure points around on the forend and see if the POI changes? I do always.

On some rifles it makes a huge difference. The bipod puts huge stress on the bedding unless they feet are perfectly parrallel and perpendicular to the barrel, and on an even surface. The bi-pod acts like a lever and compounds any bedding issues.

5" change at 100m is not out of the question with a plastic stock.

It also depends on the bipod. I used a versapod for years and it was excellent because you could really load it up. Haris is useless. Then I just biffed the bi-pod all together and started using a backpack and sandbag at the range.
