I have tried about 7 or 8 shooting bags for the rear using an Atlas bipod. All are either unstable or uncomfortable. Anyone with an Impact have a setup for bench shooting that your happy with?
it is custom made, and the height adjustment screw goes all the way along the length of it."Jack.K"
Nice setup, where did you get that?
Agreed. Impact has a design induced 'flex' when using a bipod only (with any kind of weight transfer) for paper punching. Nonetheless it is a fantastic engineered machine that will cater for the needs of many. Out of the box, it is only and purely a hunting rifle. If one enjoys small groups on paper more frequently than hunting, this is definitely not the one to buy from the FX range."Nueces"According to Mat Dubber and just looking at how the gun is configured ... the Impact is in no way a bench shooter's gun.

I agree Nappyman the more you can allow for free recoil the less jump or bounce is likely to happen. Bill"Nappyman"Don't forget, bi pods on hard surface benches will most likely cause bounce. Bull pups and light weight guns like fx are much harder to shoot off a bench, easier to induce "shooters bad habits" during the firing sequence. But if it is well supported and the shooter does their part, understands there particular rifles likes and dislikes (every gun is different) then you should be just fine. JMHO
