If I don't hold the front down it lifts off the sand bags and my groups string up and down horribly. Instead of having big round groups I get big oval groups. But I'll try this again.

I have Leupolds on both. A 2-7x33 in the 20 ga. and a 3-9x40 on the 12 ga. Parallax is set at 75 yds.

I don't think I'm flinching. I load my rounds one at the time. Every once in a while I'll have my son either load a round or close the bolt on an empty chamber so I can't see and don't know what he did. Then he'll watch to see if I flinch or not if he didn't load a round. He says I'm not.

This has been done numerous times. Both scopes have been sent back. Both barrels have been sent back. Scope rings have been marked to see if there was any movement.
Thanks, NYH.
