So after 3 trips to the range with my new Savage I was having some severe problems with accuracy. My Chinese made scope bit the dust right off the bat, so I ordered another scope to eliminate problems with that. Still I have was having trouble grouping under 6 inches with a .308 Model 10BA.

So I put the bipod away and switch to my ammo bag as a rest, just to see if I was getting some type of weird bipod hop. My group went to 2" with 10 shots right off the bat.

So, being a bit of a novice to precision shooting (I have started studying it and just purchased a bunch of reloading gear) what tips and advice do people have for shooting off bipods for precision? After todays experience, I'm hoping the answer is not "don't shoot off of bipods".

The bipod is a rock ridge model. It seems decently built with tilt, extending arms, springs for folding and extending....
