The mount system looks rock solid to me.

You need to reload. Factory ammo sucks.

Maybe a barrel stabilizer will help your issues.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Get rid of the sled and shoot it over sand bags.  Those sleds are worthless.

The hell!!  If the barrel is straight and cannot be improved by a judicious application of a drilling hammer and the crown has been inspected and found to not be in need of touch up by a P Grinder it is what we call operator error. 

Free recoil vs a hard or medium hold? Much of this is dependent on the shape of the stock, how it rides the bags, the rifles weight and the amount of felt recoil it generates.

All kidding aside:  I met, and shot with, a chuck hunter/rancher who ordered one of those "newfangled" rifle scopes and a set of mounts, back in the 1950's, and he took his 250 Savage Model 70 out of the stock, put it in the vise and lined er' up on the sign "down the way."  Wrapped the action up in a wet rag and with his Lincoln welder.... bzzzt, bzzzt, bzzzt, bzzt got er' done. 

When I met him, in the 1980's he had a brand new Leupold 4-12 VX2 and his rig was "all that."  At that time we were shooting Ruger and 788's in 22-250 and he kept up with us.  Being as he had shot that rifle for 30 plus years we were not at all worried about it letting loose, either that or we did not know any better.

Hope to see another pic of the stock that gives good cheek weld with that setup.

Stop for a second.

With the thumb and index finger of your right hand, measure the distance between your cheekbone and your eye socket.  Inch and a half?

Now then.  Imagine your cheekbone firmly on the stock of that rifle.  How long would your skull have to be to see down the pipe of that scope?

I think you hit on it.  That rifle is clearly designed for a low-cheeked individual.

I'm not seeing any zip ties. No piece of equipment should ever head to the field without zip ties.
