    I would also get someone else to shoot it at the same time. If you say you and kg have shot good groups, maybe your anticipating the recoil and developed a flinch?

    Send it to me, I have never shot an edge before.

    And we were just talking about that on Sunday.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Make sure you're loading the bipod evenly and not too hard (I think the spikes are a rubbish product), straight behind the rifle, no muscle tension, consistent position, natural point of aim

    I could be loading the bipod up too hard and possibly not evenly - I find it uncomfortable to keep my shoulders square with the rifle.

    Can someone explain natural point of aim to me?
    If my work annoys me, I cull them

    Problem found!!



    Natural point of aim = rifle naturally resting with point of aim on the target, when in shooting position. No muscle required to be on target.


    Bipod spikes allow too much bipod pressure to be exerted by people who don't understand why they're leaning into it, and allow cross-tension to build up easily if making adjustments in position without lifting the bipod
