My attempt to connect left hand to rifle is flipping out (Mecanim/IK)

Hi, newbie q. I've trying to make my character aim at a target. My problem is that he needs to have both hands on the rifle. I've attached the rifle as a child of the right hand and added a empty object slightly down the rifle as the left-hand grip position. I then use IK to direct the left hand. I then rotate the right-hand to face the target. alt text

That's sort of works ;) But when I change the angle he aims at the left hand flips out rapidly rotating the left hand it all sorts of in-human positions. I'm guessing that's because the arm is too close and the hand is 'breaking' since the left-grip position hasn't moved up/down the rifle like it would in real life? alt text
