    Hello Everyone

    I was out the other day testing my rifle after a very thorough barrel cleaning to verify my current load and it shot great from the prone and I rezeroed my scope.

    I then thought id try shooting off the tray of my truck with a bipod and rear bag whilst standing. I still shot a half decent group, nothing like my prone group but my POI was about 4" left and 2" low from my prone zero.

    Under recoil the rifle is rock solid, the rifle isnt jumping off target under recoil or anything like that.

    I know it would be hard to diagnose without a video but can anyone give me some tips to try and centre my groups up?

    Have attached pictures of my prone group and what my setup is shooting off the tray.

    Thanks for your time

    Are you able to put some weight into the bipod without it sliding?

    Are you able the get your shoulders pretty square with the rifle?
     
    Yeah I had a bit of pre load into the bipod and I had my feet spread abit more than shoulder width apart and square on to the target and rifle.

    It was my first time trying to shoot like that though so it could just be a case of me practicing abit more and see if I keep shooting low and left.
