Hello,
I've been playing with different types of rests for use with my heavy barreled Savage .22.
Even with a bipod and the heavy barrel, I still get a bit of jump, I would say about 1/4" to 1/2" at 50 yards.
I'd like to eliminate this.
The way I shoot is to let the front support (sandbag, bipod, etc) do the front supporting and use either a sock, fist or nothing in the rear.
Any which way, it jumps a bit.
I'm not a fan of porting or compensating.
I've thought about piling sandbags onto the front, but am trying to figure out how to do this without touching the barrel.
I could use help from benchrest shooters here.
Thanks,
Josh <><
