Shooting rest or bag?

[DaveT]

Not sure what sort of shooting you are planning on BUT best to zero and shoot (for real) with the same setup if possible.

Have you considered a simple bipod and rear bag/sand-sock setup?....much more portable than front bags or complicated rests.

Hi DaveT
I've not thought about it that way. I assumed that if the rifle was zeroed as well as could be, then any deviation would be shooter error.
How would I go about zeroing it for different shooting positions?

Back to the cleaning rod, what's wrong with multi-section rods? Where can I get rod guides from? Do I need one for .22LR? Are there any kits with all I need? Why can't I stop thinking about the end of a cheesy 70/80 American TV show?

Cheers!

I was not advocating zeroing it for different positions as such....just noting that there are differing pressures being applied to your rifle (fore-end / barrel etc) when you shoot off of a properly loaded bipod vs resting it on a front rest or other support and that this CAN change POI by varying degrees.

The optimal form of zeroing is to do so via your most commonly used shooting setup and then checking for any changes to your POI in other setups......you will then know if you need to apply any adjustments ....hopefully very minor only.

Cheers Dave, I get you now :-)
