Not to mention broken stocks (usually walnut ones to be fair).

The biggest issue is the rifle moves about 1.5mm BEFORE the bullet leaves the barrel - its an immutable law of physics. If that 1.5mm isn't the same each shot you will have a POI change. Its called various names, "follow-thru" is the most common, and its one of the least understood factors in shooting well.
