Guess you can't use a Bipod on any Rifle

[Shortfuse]

I picked up a Savage B Mag with a Boyds Stock in .17 WSM has a Bushnell Banner 4-16 scope on it I was beating my head against the wall trying to figure out why I couldn't get 2 or 3 rounds even close to each other Pics 1,2 and 3 are after 50 rounds and tightening everything on the Rifle. So I'm sitting there looking at it ready to give up and bingo let me try folding up the Bipod and shooting off a box pic 4 the top target is no bipod the bottom target is using the bipod again just to make sure i'm not Nuts. So I guess you cant mount a Bipod on any Rifle even if they put a second sling swivel on it for a Bipod

Your barrel must be touching your stock in places and the amount of pressure applied downward and at various angles on the bipod is changing your aim point each shot.  Time to glass bed that rifle and problem should be solved.

What was in the box you shot at the warehouse?

You better give me that wsm, it's not even a contender at 50.

Which stock did you get?

 

I switched my purchase from the composite stock top this one after I read poor reviews about the composite.

Since you bought the Boyds I am assuming you purchased the laminate?

 

I am interested in some pictures of where you had the bi-pod mounted.

 

I was going to mount one to mine because it has a separate spot for it.

Because your shots are more or less straight up and down inconsistent, it's almost guaranteed to be the barrel touching the stock and not the ammo.  Glass bedding is relatively easy and there are numerous Youtube videos on how to would be my guess.  All rifles need a free floating barrel if you want consistent groups.

Thats the first thing I checked the barrel is free floating if you look at the 4th target down its the only one that shot where I aimed and I shot that group without the bipod on  a makeshift rest back by the trigger guard. The flier was my fault. Only thing I can point at is the Bipod when i shout of it I can't get 2 rounds in the same area

It's the Laminate stock without the thumbhole swivel studs are in the same place as the pic I got the Rifle with the stock

Maybe pressure on the fore end?

 

With bi pod you are getting walking shots verticle

 

- Without the bipod your groups are good?

 

- What weight are you using?

 

- Are these your first few shots?

We wouldn't be here if you got the Volquartzen.

Price might be an issue...

[Shortfuse]

We wouldn't be where Rifle shoots great without a bipod and shitty with a bipod just passing on the info

[BCsaw]

It's the Savage tupperware stock forend flex. Been there done that.

You could make a pressure point above the sling stud.

Once that is addressed, the trigger, rimfire ammo and "you" are the other variables.

Weight sort your rimfire ammo or get the rimfire reload kit.

You must be drinking lots of coffee!

It's a Boyds Laminate Stock and an Accutrigger

The second target going up looks good. It is stringing up for some reason. Usually that means it has to be bedded, If the Barrel is Free Floated you need to take the next step which is Pillard Bedding. At 50yds and being inside you should have one ragged hole. Of cource it could be operator error also........ sust sayin............
