Accuracy problems

[eastTN270]

Let me first start off by saying that I am NO marksman, but I do feel like I have good form and habits. I shot my two rifles yesterday and was not pleased at all. 1st was Savage 110 in .243, two shots within an inch, then one about 12 inchs to the right. Next was Win Mod 70 in .270. Three shots within about a 2.5 inch circle. All shots were at 100 yards, in prone position, both rifles have had trigger jobs and Nikon Prostaff scopes. I don't shoot a lot, but felt that I was on the bullzeye with each trigger pull. Could muzzle jump be a cause? Any ideas or tips?

check your mounts and make sure they are tight.

You need to try to have the same hold on the rifle every time you pull the trigger. You also need to be shooting off a solid bench and sandbags when you are shooting for accuracy or sighting in a rifle.

Check your breathing as well. Couple of deep breaths, then take another and exhale half way and hold then pull the trigger.

make sure that your breathing is correct and that you are firing from your natural point of aim.

I wouldnt put alot of stock in the prone position, it brings in too many variables. Try the gun benched on bags or some sort of consistant rest.

prone is not a good position for complete acurracy test
