[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 966946, member: 2011"] When I'm on the bench which is very very infrequently I use a simple, light and inexpensive orange Hoppe's. I made holes in the bench top to match the foot screws and set it with one of the 3 legs straight back. I've had this thing for decades and won plenty of BR matches using it. The secret is a proper bag on the pedestal for the shape of the forearm. Flat for flat and round for round. No side play. The rifle should slide freely. Very freely. Keep the nearest sling stud at least an inch and a half, or better, from the rest. Behind the second stud works for me. I use an eared rear bag with plenty of squeezeabiity for various elevation considerations. However, a more solid rear bag is better. The more squeeshi the rear bag the more fliers can be expected, at least for me. As I do all of my shooting prone I'm working on an adjustable, packable rear rest that is showing some promise. Hope this helps…. Also had a visitor this morning. [/QUOTE]
