My hunting shot first choice is prone with a tight sling and my left hand on my back pack.
Below are some groups shot that way a few years apart at our Friday morning 500 yard practice sessions at Phoenix Rod and Gun Club.
7.5 pound M70.

While the tight sling is preferable, I couldn't use it on this years Coues buck as I could not elevate the muzzle enough after I rotated the butt into my shoulder pocket...


Too close for irons, switching to scope...
