[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 1249071"] Have you thought about a variation on the classic Creedmoor prone? Some have referred to it as the dead frog position. Basically laying on your back with the rifle barrel between your legs, knees out and feet planted using the bipod to support the rifle, with your back pack as support so you are semi reclined, I find it works on hills and there is minimal strain on your back. A lot of silhoutte pistol shooters are using a form of Creedmoor prone for long range. I have also used the full Creedmoor with an 1867 Remington rolling block in 50-70, using my crossed legs as support for the barrel at the midpoint, my left arm behind my head with the hand on the butt for recoil support and then looking thru the Soule sight, with my right arm straight out from the shoulder and elbow bent hand assuming an almost regular shooting position and voila a stable position for shooting at that , from 1000 thousand yards perspective, itty bitty target.
