    KRG Bravo Tikka T1x Balance

    I've got a T1x in Bravo with Arca rail, minimalist spigot mount and an el cheapo bipod and I find it to be in acceptable balance. The balance point is in front of the mag and when I place it on a shooting bag the magazine comes into contact, but I don't have much to complain. I have an 16"...

    Help improving my group’s. What needs changing?

    Shoot a couple of 10-30 shot groups with what appears to work, select the best out of those and stop chasing your tail. Three shot groups prove nothing.

    Beginner trying to learn to shoot

    Hi, and thanks for your comments. I guess I expressed myself poorly, of course placing the bipod on a softer surface doesn't actually reduce the recoil. As we all know, the gun starts to vibrate when the gunpowder is burning and the bullet is pushed, and if the bipod is on hard concrete...
