Blaser K95 Stutzen question

[stug]

The schnabel on the end of the fore-end is designed so that the rifle does not slip off a bag or such when resting the rifle over it. I personally would not rest straight on a hard surface.

More importantly now, what rifle ae you brinning in a few days time to the Eastern Cape?

Your answer hard surface and putting pressure on the tip of the rifle !!

For this first safari, and it being covid times, we chose not to bring our own rifles but use the ones from the outfitter. However I will take my own for my next safari

Resting rifle on hard surface is never good idea. You always can use your palm, glove, hat,...K95 is very light rifle therefore it's POI is shifting depends from where you rest the forend. I can have one hole group with my K95 (7x65R) just at POA but only if I rest rifle at same spot (I always use black tip as a reference point) but if I rest rifle on middle of forend my POI move some 2" high but group remains the same.
If I could transfer mine results to your case you would be almost 4" high. Add just one MOA for your mistake (it is happening even to best shooters) and roe deer is scared but live & healthy.
