well my problem was vertical grip on the Game Scout stock, front bag and torque of the rifle..I had some suggestions on how to relax my grip on that vertical grip and changed my front bag placement and that took care of most of my horizontal ..that was not due to conditions...I turned in a 3 shot .300" group at 200 Yards and a 2 1/4" 3 shot'er at 700 yards. 700 yards was 2 1/4" vertical..some due to conditions some shooter I'm sure..But not bad...I am ready to stretch it to 1000 and see what I get.
