Q:

Long Range Accuracy Crazy Talk

I’m trying to get the maximum long range accuracy out of my Condor. Almost all of the shots will be off of a bench rest. Wouldn’t it make sense to remove the forgrip and mount the bipod as far back as possible? Where does the frame exhibit the least amount of flex? It seems like the bipod should be mounted behind the power wheel. Would this produce a floating barrel like effect?

Resting the rifle’s fore grip on sand bags seems to be the recommended approach. Is this because the foregrip acts to stiffen the frame? Could it be replaced by a trirail to increase the effect? What do y’all think?

A bipod mounted on the foregrip area does not bugger the accuracy like a bipod mounted toward the muzzle.

This can be checked with a lazer

Recently built this custom forend with the intent of stabilizing the gun for shooting off sandbags. Wider and heavier than the stock plastic one and to remove any doubts of frame flex, attached by two screws; one in front and one behind the PW cutout in the frame. contour mimics the “beavertail foreend” seen on many centerfire rifles.

Do you really think frame-flex is an issue with a rifle that has almost zero recoil?
