Shooting Prone - Off hand on scope?

[Joe King]

My free hand is used to control the rear (bean bag, I made a larger version of the one Len offers on here to fit my longer bipods)

Thanks for all the replies! I should have mentioned that the reason I need to hold it is because I am shooting a 300 RUM without a break. So just placing the hand under the stock for support won't exactly work

I guess since I haven't seen anything too negative about trying this, I might give it a shot and see what happens!

Maybe you should get a good brake and not worry about recoil ever again.....

Just a thought.

I have thought about it, but I do too much hunting where I can end up with quick shots without being able to put the ear plugs in...my hearing is bad enough the way it is, hahahaha!
