The triggers are drop in, factory adjusted, untouched and oil free.
I will be shooting tomorrow. I have shot both rifles off a rest and rear bag without issues . I'am almost sure no bipod will stop the bump fire. The suggested bipod causing the bumpfire made me think a bit. I'll post up tomorrow.

In the OP's case, in my opinion his application of the trigger use by using a bipod and (I assume) a shoulder weld of some sort with the buttstock constitutes a high-probability use-application of the gun and fire-control group. "Bad technique" not withstanding, the purchaser I think has a right to have a reasonable expectation for the fire control group to work as advertised within a reasonable range of "normal use" conditions. I'm amazed at how often parts are out of "compliance" or don't fit together properly in the wild world of home-builds, +/- tolerance stacking of a few thousandths of an inch between parts can add up to a problem/malfunction. pretty easily. Functioning of things like the safety selector, sear timing and disconnector timing can change easily with minute changes in settings. If the OP is shooting on a table with the bipod and the gun "jumps into the air" upon recoil and he's hanging on by the trigger then there might be something going on in that dynamic. Rather than disassembly of the fire control group to test in multiple uppers--I would shoot the gun using just front and rear bags with the the buttpad properly positioned against the shoulder. If the gun still does a multi-firing for each pull of the trigger I'd say yank the timney.

stagpanther, I am fully aware of the type of trigger installed (I install triggers like this routinely), but the post was in response to his saying that two or three shots was not "full auto". The law is pretty clear on that, anything more than one is automatic fire. However, as others have suggested, I would bet he is bump-firing the rifle.

Like most people commenting here--I think some kind of free-recoil bumpfire unintentionally experienced by the OP is the most likely explanation. More to the point--the OP has a malfunctioning fire control group under his use. It may be because of the operator's misuse, parts incompatibility etc.--perhaps most likely--BUT this could be potentially dangerous should some other malfunction occur besides simply a few shots tripping off with one pull of the trigger while aiming at a target. I'm not automatically discounting the possibility there might be something with the trigger set-up contributing to the problem; it's important to get to the cause of the problem in a fairly conclusive way IMO.

I'll never forget the time when I accidentally double bump fired a fellow shooter's, light triggered M1A off a pedestal rest on a bench --- whew --- I learned fast on that one.

Shooting off a Caldwell Front rest and rear bag solved the issues. Got out to 800 yds on the Creedmoor and not as well with the Grendel.
I'am ready to get back to the bolt actions with 25X scopes and known recipes
