Many shooters experiment with forend placement on the front bag, to find where the rifle “shoots best.” If you’re at the range for Saturday recreation this can add to the fun, and even result in wallet-groups. But I’ve lost count of how many forend-experimenters claim their rifle shoots best when rested on the front action screw, not the forend. Here’s a clue, dudes: There’s something screwy with the forend bedding.
I also suspect that it is because on a hunting rifle it is generally the widest place on the stock, which can keep the rifle from being canted as much which as we all know will cause a larger group.
