[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 930716, member: 50867"] Interested to hear opinions on how "tight" to hold the rifle during the bench and also field firing procedure. #1 Do you control the rifle with both left and right hands? That depends on the shooting position. In sitting position I hold it with both hands, using either the sling or crossed sticks. I the standing position - which I reserve for anything no further out than 100 yards - I also use both hands and the sling. In prone position I use a bipod to hold the rifle up front and a butt bag to support it in the rear and the only hand contact is from the right hand finger on the trigger (not gripping the stock) and the left hand providing squeeze on the butt bag. #2 Do you vary the hold according to the caliber and weight of the rifle? No #3 Do you vary the hold depending on the field shooting position? Yes - as stated above. #4 Do you prefer vertical pistol grips vs curved grip design? Because I don't use the "grip" in the traditional way, the type/style of grip makes no difference. [/QUOTE]
