I'm not trying to be a smart-arse (I know from your other video's you're capable of very good marksmanship) so if you're doing things deliberately I'd like to know.

Yeah to be honest the recoil is why the groups are not great.

After one shot the rifle recoils and slides too far down the rear bag because of the slanted underside... if I simply slid the rifle forward there will not be enough pressure vertically on the rear bag and if I took the shot it will undoubtedly hit high.

The more recoil your dealing with the more crucial your pressure and body/rifle connection becomes (in my experience)

Have you thought of a suppressor or brake? I was thinking of getting one of those stainless longranges but got a second hand 700 ( unsure of model) that came with a suppressor and its shoots beautifully with bugger all recoil.
