So, I am happy with the groups (5 shot) but wondering what causes vertical stringing. Could it be my shooting technique at the bench?

1) I have had this happen a few times when the barrel was touching the stock. As the barrel heats up, it pushes further up from the stock and the point of impact climbs with each shot.

Slide a dollar bill between the stock and the barrel, and make sure it goes all the way to the receiver. Where they touch the stock can be relieved for a barrel clearance fit.

2) If the new trigger interfered with the stock in the rear, it could pry the barrel down in the front, down into touching forestock.

Put carbon black on the trigger and assemble the rifle. See if black shows up on the stock. Relieve the stock so the new trigger fits.
