Picher, I tried every variation of a firm hold I could think of, still couldn't make groups less than about ~.7-.8" on average.... but I could tell the rifle had the potential to do better.... one group would be a "scattered" looking 1.1", the very next one would be a tight .6"..... something "just told me" it was ME!... so I tried the free-recoil and VOILA!

I'm not trying to start anything, but isn't it a bit ridiculous for a high quality sporter to be so finicky about how it's held? This would seem to indicate a serious problem of wood to metal contact somewhere.
