Remember that a bipod is just an extension to the forestock on the rifle. If the action is bedded and
the barrel free-floated, then a bipod wont make any difference to the point of impact. It cant, its not affecting any part of the barrel. If the rifle barrel sits on pressure points in the forestock, then thats another story altogether.
As far as groups are concerned, my view is that its great if you can shoot tight groups but the reallity is that you'll probably only get one shot, maybe two before an animal takes off, so at that point how valuable is your five shot group??
Its usually the one shot group that puts the venny on the plate.
