This weekend I took my rifle (Marlin 1894 .44 mag) out to the range to do some offhand shooting practice. It has been sighted-in using AO Ghost Ring sights to shoot at point-of-aim at 50 yards and I get pretty consistent 1.25" groups FROM THE BENCH.
When I stand to shoot off hand at the same distance I get nice, tight groups but 4" HIGH and 1" TO THE RIGHT.
Can anyone help me understand the mechanics of what's going on and suggest a practical solution. The problem is some shots will be taken from standing, prone, some kneeling and sitting in addition to bench rest sandbag shooring.
(The load is the 300g WFNGC 44 mag, sized .432, over 21.7g of H110 at 1640 fps.)
Thanks!
