im a varmint hunter and target shooter and I seen something somewhere saying don't use a front bipod when shooting a rifle at paper to use sand bags they are more accurate and stable.
my thoughts have always been use what you hunt with. when I'm shooting woodchucks in the pastures its 40-200+ yards either on a wooden elevated tower with a rear bag and small bipod on the front or off a bench at paper with read bag and small bipod.
Right now at 100yards I can hit a quarter or close to it with my set up with factory ammo. savage axis 223rem HB accu trigger, vortex 4-12 scope. I would like to squeeze every last bit of accuracy out of that rifle as I can and looking for suggestions?
I have the $35-40 Caldwell bags but the front seems like it doesn't steady the rifle like the bipod does.
