Vert shot string

[Moody]

What would cause a large verticle shot string variation? Right-to-left is holding within an inch or 1 & 1/2 inches but up and down varies about a foot. This is using an M1 w/ CMP Greek M2 ball at 100 yrds using a rest. Thanks, Joe

5. Loose bedding.
4. Loose gas cylinder.
3. Slipping rear sight.
2. Flinching

Try a dozen cold barrel shots. That should narrow down the possibilities considerably.
