    Pretty much my thoughts also. I did buy one a while back and tried it at the range. Take it on trips sometimes but yet to use it on game. DIY folding shooting stixs made out of carbon arrows....

    With one caveat. For initial zeroing, ammo testing, load development, there's no reason so not get the best shooting position as possible, a stable rest/bipod+rear bag will net better results than...

    I generally zero off my bipod with solid rear support. I have two socks filled with rice or sand etc. Alternate to the bipod I have a simple caldwell rest for the front of the rifle and I still use...

    The best "Bipod" I've found is my day pack.

    There are slings out there that give as stable a hold as a bipod, but have less weight and are quicker and quieter to set up. Need more skill to be able to use them to potential though, and the...

    The shooting system you use at the range,you should use out on the field.Replacate everything you do,then yr rifle will repeat the same results or very near it. Solid hold,na yr recoil will fight...

    My version of the pillow on the bonnet for zeroing used to be a pillow on the spare wheel on the bonnet of my Landrover. Much more stable. GPM.

    As guys have said on here,get yr 100yds or 200yds zero spot on.Walk before you run they reckn.Watch "Panhandle Precision"Cold Bore shots,the Perfect Zero" on utube.

    We see it often. A guy brings his hunting rig out to have a play at just 300yds. "So you've got a good zero for this?" I ask. Yup they go, then proceed to barely clip the outer edge of the big target...

    Ok to make this easy,above calculations give you high shots above zero from zero up to about 6''H at 500yds.Now allow say 3-4'' low and 3-4'' high at a given distance at a deer size target,8''-10''...

    With yr 7mm RM,you wont have much dial up to 300yds.Just divide yr dialing up into 1/3rds to 400yds and and 1/4s to 500yds.Try to round off to the closes inch.Not sure the drops for yr 7mm Rm. Heres...
