Factory CZ457 MTR off Farley

[archerforkids]

I'm playing around with benchrest a little shooting ARA cards factory target. My shooting results vary from jaw dropping to outburst of unchristian words at myself and my set up. One thing I have noticed is the rifle twists in my Farley rest if I'm not gripping said rifle more than I care for. The firm gripping/shoulder tuck does not seam to yield consistent results.
Any suggestions on how to manage this?

Put a bag rider on the fore end and angle the rear bag slightly until the rifle ride’s straight. The MTR butt stock has a slight offset.

I made a 3 inch wide piece of wood the same as my benchrest stock and attached it to the stock, it seemed to help quite a bit. Tapping the rear of the stock into tight ears also helped.

I'm under the impression if i add mods as described it would bump me into unlimited class if I decide to compete.
Thanks for feedback folks

That is correct.

Loose the front rest and use a bipod is an option.

I just got through testing my MTR Varmint, on bipod and rear protektor bag with no issues.

I just bought a Sinclair f-class bipod to try. I'm using it in conjuction with a PQP rear mechanical rest. I have only shot it once so far but, it shows promise.

I have a Mystique Precision bipod I'm going to shoot with tomorrow. Hopefully it will behave off it.
Who would have thought a rimfire would behave like that.

I have found since getting into .22 seriously, they are very fickle...or at least they can be. When I shoot poorly with a CF, I know it was me. That is because I am generally shooting a known accurate gun, with hand loads that have been proven and, the ammo isn't usually as affected by the wind. When I shoot poorly with a RF I always question whether it was me, the wind, the ammo, the set-up...they list goes on. It is the most frustrating shooting sport I have ever been involved in.

Get a Rempel.

My measuring stick on me vs gun is where the crosshairs end up after pulling the trigger. Thats of couse second to POI. Trying to shoot free recoil is when I started really seeing the rifle movement after the shot. Rather than getting a smooth linial recoil i could actually see this twisting motion. Absolutely upsets the gun in the bags.

No. This was my first outing with this particular rifle, and I did manage a 230 USBR score with it on the first target tho. I think it has potential.

This is good to hear bc I have a Sinclair Gen II coming Tuesday as well.

I have struggled with this sort of thing as well, and pretty much found it coming down to trigger control. A stock with lines not designed for tracking in bags, as well as a heavier trigger, accentuate the problem.
My solution has been to be careful to have a consistent position in the bags, and then be hypervigilant about a straight pull and follow through.
Just my experience.
