Ive tried off bags, rest and bipod. It shoots about 1.5" but sometimes I dont even bother measuring because it opened up so much. It will be for hunting and I know thats still well within the ability to take game at 100 yards but I also like just target shooting too. Maybe it is all just me, I dont know, I was just expecting something better. I bedded the lug and scope base like posted on the first page and if it improves my accuracy, Ill be happy.
Just an fyi, as twice you mentioned “focus” for your best group. I don’t believe anyone achieves their best accuracy devoid of having extreme & deliberate Focus. I’ll go a step further and claim our best groups are achieved with carefully worked up loads.
