Drifter - thanks for your inputs. I put some of your and Bob's suggestions to work today.
Shot 5 groups of 5, with the first 4 groups at 100 yards and the last group at 200. All off of a Harris bipod on a concrete bench, but adjusting POA by sitting position (i.e. no sandbags at all).
Group 1 was more of what I had been doing with exception of putting my left hand on the handguard. Still used a light/loose grip. My rifle apparently doesn't like loose holds!
Groups 2 - 5 were same basic position but holding the rifle much firmer into shoulder with left hand. With the exception of group 4, I took my time between shots (closing eyes for a 10 count, then re-opening to check aim). Group 4 I didn't bother closing eyes and had a much quicker shot cadence (with corresponding opening of group).
