I'd been fighting my own rifle for three years and just didn't know it. Length of pull was a half inch too long once I started wearing a shooting jacket, so I shimmed the recoil pad and rechecked the fit. Cheek height was a little low too, so I added a comb riser and called it a day. The whole project cost about thirty dollars and two hours, which felt almost insulting given how long I'd been blaming my technique instead.
The moment everything clicked into place, the rifle stopped feeling like something I was wrestling and started feeling like something that actually belonged to me. I mean, its the same gun, same ammo, same guy behind it and suddenly groups tightened up like the rifle had been waiting three years for me to notice.
Is there something in your setup you've been blaming yourself for that might actually just be a fit problem?
