What is That rear rest? Is that a gun sock filled with something? I just did some shooting with a front rest for the first time and was happily improved.
Yes it was at 200yds but, the bigger spread was all me. Like I mentioned I a bit under the weather plus the heat, had me rushing shots. The original stock is great but, the lack of a cheek riser and no detachable mag was my reason to try out the magpul hunter stock. Also, I wanted more magnification so, I bought a Vortex HS-T 5-24. The rear "sand" bag is exactly what you said. A gun sick filled with air gun bb's , it works great and is very lightweight. Also, I'm trying different loads and that will open up the group.
