here are 2 three shot groups i fired this past weekend at 100 yards!! first group is to the right and second to the left if you put a line right down the middle!!! on the 3rd shot out of each group use to fly high!!!

 

[Camper]

Did you let your barrel cool between shots?

 

[quackquackbang]

well i done the first 3 shot group one after the other then waited around 20 minutes and shot the other 3!

How windy was it? You have some horizontal stringing as well. Try the box or ladder method for grouping. It is supposed to average some of the variables.
What kind of rifle? New to you? New bullet to the rifle? Scope? Sound rest, consistent hold and trigger control? Action screw torque? Scope mounts and rings tight and straight?

 

[quackquackbang]

No wind at all i was at the range in clearwater and its in the woods...lol. its a Savage 16fcss and i got it about a month ago brand new i have talley lightweight rings and a burris fullfield 2 scope! as for anything else i dont Know!

Were you using a rear bag? I get the odd flyer north of the group when I don't use a rear bag.

 

[quackquackbang]

ya but it was to low and i had to hold the gun where im tall so that may have somthing to do with it but i dont think!!

I think you need to get your buddy to make taller sand bags!!! Hope you get it figured before you get out for a Bear!!!

Make your bags taller...hahahaD or maybe i need to make myself shorter!!!! haha

Make sure the forearm is resting on the sand bag in the same spot for each spot, it is easy to move back a little on each shot and the forearm on the synthetic savage stocks is less rigid out at the end.

If that doesn't make a difference let the barrel cool between each shot and see if that makes any difference.

Good luck, sure it must be something simple.

Is this all the shooting you've done with the rifle?

I'd guess bedding if it does this consistently.

 

[H4831]

Your rifle is screaming out to be properly bedded! End of the story.


PS. It should five or ten shot groups without the point of impact changing.
