[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 1105, member: 22"] Rufous, I used my Rem Sendero in 300 Win Mag a couple of years ago to shoot in 1,000yd competition with. I settled on using the non-shooting hand pulling straight down on the forearm. Not back but straight down with only 2 fingers (thumb on one side and middle finger on the other. I would only rest my shooting hand lightly against the stock without wrapping my finger around the pistol grip. I would bring my shoulder up against the recoil pad enough to move the rifle forward to adjust elevation and just back off a little on shoulder pressure. This is the method that worked best for me. As for the placement of the rest on the forarm I found the further out the forearm I could put it the better mechanical leverage I had when pulling the rifle down. Any thing shorter hurt me. Place your non-shooting hand as close to the front rest as possible though to eliminate as much stock flex as possible when pulling down. You'll see what I mean when you do this looking through the scope. Adjust your hand and rest setup and pull down. You'll see what makes the big changes or not by watching the crosshairs dance and feel the stock flexing. Steve [/QUOTE]
