I would almost bet that the stock is flexing with the bi-pod causing inconsistent pressure on the barrel. If you want to keep it this way, either stiffen the forearm or trim away enough material from the stock that the forearm doesn't touch. To find out if that is the problem, shoot the rifle with a front rest situated under the magazine. If groups tighten up, then you will know what is what.

Have you actually had this happen with an Axis? Or are you just speculating?

I've shot over 600 rounds with my Axis off of a bipod and never had such an issue.
