If you are hitting all of your shots in a quarter size hole at 100 yards just to the right of the bull I don't think your bipod is the problem, you are probably pulling with the trigger finger. Unless you are left handed I would put money on that being your problem. If you are not preloading the bipod correctly the gun can jump around but you can still be relatively accurate if you are doing everything else correctly. If that is the case, it really just screws your sight picture and the chance of a fast follow up shot.

Make sure you are using the pad of your index finger, not the knuckle and squeeze the trigger straight back and hold. You don't want a choppy pull and release, you can hold it until you see the point of impact. Dry firing practice (with snap caps or the like) will probably work wonders for you. Pick a point and put your crosshairs on it and practice squeezing the trigger. Your crosshairs should not move from that point. This is also an easy way to find out if you are flinching or closing your eyes while you are shooting. I have heard of guys who do this with a laser boresighter as well and put your crosshairs on the laser mark, and if it moves all over the place you need practice. I do it out of my sliding glass door in the back yard on a spot I marked on my fence.

If you start getting good at dry firing but still have issues at the range try to blind load your rifle and throw a snap cap or two in with live rounds. If you are jerky when you hit that snap cap or close your eyes when you pull the trigger you are going to know it instantly.

Here is a link to a video that illustrates trigger control better. If you watch closely when he uses the knuckle the tip of his finger wraps around the trigger, so he is not getting the straight back pull you want. I believe he said there was a .5 MOA difference at 300 yards using the knuckle vs. the pad, and that is from a "professional shooter." (I don't think he refers to himself as such but it is not just a hobby for him)
