    You look like on the original photo you're double grouping which is likely down to your eye relief an position on the stock especially if it it feels weird.

    Try grabbing a hair tie ( off a sister or missus) and put it over the barrel end and roll down to your point where you line up on the stock as a physical reminder of the correct cheek weld and eye relief where there's no shading and the black around your eye box is equal on all sides. You can use a rubber band but they don't tend to last as long. That should stop the double grouping.

    Trade in you bipod for a bag of rice or your daypack (filled in side ) to shoot from til you get accuracy and grouping happening. You've got a surpressor and limb saver may help but first put the souck into the crook of your elbow and finger on trigger. This will tell you if it's too short or too long in terms of length of pull.

    Re your trigger pull, if you use the rice bag etc you're well supported so be confident in that practice the pressure squeeze pressure on when on target hold as it moves off it'll come back so don't fight it then continue pressure til you get the break and it will be on target cos that's when you're adding pressure. If you feel like you're hooking it try to imagine you're squeeze is between you're index an thumb it's easier to visualise and control so will be smoother.

    Give these a try...
    Hope these couple of little tricks and tips help. Spend time at the local nzda range or farm.
