That way, YOU are basically hard mounting the rifle. Using a snap cap, then press the trigger with various configurations of finger until you find that 'sweet spot' for that rifle. Re rotation, that shouldn't be happening either, if you've got the rifle tight in your shoulder. There shouldn't be any way for just your hand to roll the rifle that much. As far as repeatability, my gunsmith in NOVA was a bench shooter also. I've seen his target with ten rounds in a .2 hole shooting .308 rounds, so I know it is doable. With my sniper rifles, I can cloverleaf five rounds and cover them with a quarter on a good day.Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-38466094477209700322021-11-18T08:00:42.413-05:002021-11-18T08:00:42.413-05:00ERJ

Get everything ready, operate set trigger slowly to keep sites lined up, then firing trigger requires ~0 travel so it can't perturb the rifle.<br /><br />I know, for me, torque on the trigger is the issue under stress. I'm wondering if I went from a curved 1911 style to a flat trigger and then the flat trigger was capable of freely rotating it would prevent my finger torquing the rifle as I pulled. Essentially analogous to a gimbal mounted trigger, the useful input is "user operation of triggering device", not "user is operating triggering device in a straight line" so designing a system that is agnostic to rotational or lateral force on trigger is an improvement in function.SpartanF3nc3rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18417199452616650271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-50591004114487440602021-11-18T05:43:52.816-05:002021-11-18T05:43:52.816-05:00I am frustrated with my self because of my inabili...I am frustrated with my self because of my inability to communicate the pictures in my head using common English.<br /><br />I agree that it is related to the correct use of the trigger BUT the rifle only needs to yaw or pitch 1/15th of a degree for the point-of-impact to shift 4" at 100 yards. That degree of shift is likely to be more than is acceptable. Even having the rifle roll will change the point-of-impact some.<br /><br />The picture in my head was to desensitize the rifle, even if just as a blue-sky trial, to one more source of noise from the shooter.<br /><br />I practice shooting. Not as much as I should. But when I am looking at a nice deer and I have seconds to shoot it, I cannot guarantee that I use the best practices I have "Mastered". A very, very nice buck reduces me to caveman-with-club, amygdala-dominated brain.Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-67480574797824763432021-11-17T20:33:50.772-05:002021-11-17T20:33:50.772-05:00I run a .30-06 and it jumps every time I press the...I run a .30-06 and it jumps every time I press the bang button. But if you ride the same bronco enough you get to the point you can ride him where you want. Just gotta learn the jumps.<br />Kind of like them kids learning levels in a video game.<br />But sometimes slop is your friend. To much rigidity is bad for a system.

If it does, either you don't have your finger on the trigger correctly, or the trigger has issues.Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.com
