Chicken livers?
My shooting position is pretty solid. I do keep my trigger side leg pulled up high enough to ease the pressure on my diaphram. I took the rifle out to 500 yards with the scope and managed to hold a pretty consistent 2 to 2.5 moa group. My iron sight issue came from being unable to separate my target from the shooters target next to mine. I really feel like I should be able to shoot a sub 2moa group, but timing my heartbeat is proving to be a hard thing. I am also trying to figure out just how tight my sling should be, my groups seem to be tighter when I have to force the rifle up into my shoulder, but when the sling is that tight, it is tough to keep my arm under the rifle.
