Benchrest shooters use a plate fastened to the forearm of the rifle and sometimes a horizontal rod fastened to the rear which rest in the rear bag.. With this system, there is very little ,if any canting and the steadiness is far improved.. With that said,, When developing a load, would you not want to remove as much of the human factor or movement as possible so the rifle goes off with the crosshairs steady on target. Once the load has been determined,, remove the plate and rod and sight in the scope the traditional way. I realize that the rifle will recoil differently which each system so sighting in the scope with the plates attached and then removing them to go hunting would not be wise. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you
