As Mark says, - I've found a 2 min elevation difference when shooting from a bipod after zeroing mag rested (I don't usually shoot from a bipod)

The bipod was attached via a freefloated foreend. My hold, combined with the change in recoil characteristics must make the difference. This was at 300 yards. I only tried it after Bus Pass Dave-UK mentioned that his bipod zero was different to mag resting. I just wanted to try to replicate his findings. |

I certainly get a minute or so difference at 100 yds depending on whether I am standing or prone,
Not that this one inch difference in point of impact explains why I am so sh1te at 100 yd standing/kneeling

Even when the barrel is floated you get a big difference when not using a bipod and pulled up tight in a sling
