I agree with the fixed-stock choice for best accuracy in an AR. I also use automatic alignment where you settle the gun in the rest and bags point at the target and then suddenly relax. See how far the gun moves off aim and readjust and try to minimise this. Do this a few times prior to shooting and each time there will be less movement when you release tension as you realise how much you are putting pressure on the gun from various angles. Make sure it can track smoothly in the recoil by pushing it forwards and backwards, slightly. These are relatively light guns so you have to lock them in to prevent jump.
With a light recoiling rifle like the grendel try free recoil off the bags especially if you have a heavy barrel target rifle.
Set the rifle on the rest and use the rest and bags to get proper sight alignment not your hold on the.gun. Make sure the rear bag is directly under where your cheek contacts the stock and put no more pressure on the stock than required to get proper sight alignment. Make sure the rifle is free to slide back in recoil without hanging up on anything on the bags or rest. Make absolutely sure that you have.removed all parallax from your sight picture. Position your shoulder behind the stock to catch it in recoil but don't put any pressure on the stock.
Now with a steady sight picture and with no pressure on the rifle place the first joint of.your trigger finger on the trigger and begin to put pressure on the trigger straight back until it fires. It should suprise you when it goes off.
You should be able to just slide the rifle forward with your.shoulder back in position for the same sight.picture.
Do it properly 5 times in a row and.it.should be.the best group you have shot.
Warning !!! Don't try this with your 7 mag
