I've been shooting rimfire alot lately since I just got my new savage. I don't have a "lead sled" or any kind of rifle vise or rest so i have been improvising... you can see the rest I built from wood:
When I rest the rifle in this wood contraption (the v-notch is covered with a towel so the barrel won't scratch), the shot group is higher on the target.
When I rest the rifle on folded towels on the table, the shot group is lower. I'm not sure which I should use to adjust the scope. I guess if I'm hunting, I will be shooting offhand, so I should adjust the scope that way. It's just curious to me how the rest affects the groups.
