I dont shoot mine off the bench much either. That target was from when I first got it. It doesnt wear the bipod as it is my "cart gun" that I carry around my land. I bought my father one for Christmas and it is tight also. Both of our rifles are a Dicks Sporting goods exclusive heavy fluted barrel with the green stock. I paid 400 for mine with ammo and nikon bdc scope used. I bought his new with the cheap package scope for 280 bucks. I hope you can figure it out. I have never taken the stock off ours. They are both just as they were bought except I bent the magazine guide on both forward because it gets rid of the "wiggle" and makes them feed smooth. I cant believe those Hornady rounds dont shoot any better than that! If you dont want them I will take em! Just kidding. Good luck and keep me posted.
