When I shoot any gun with 2 piece stocks off a bench, I always put the front bag under the action, not the forend. After finding the load that groups best, I still use bags, but grasp the forend and rest the back of my hand on the front bag, then adjust the sights to place the group where I want it. I want to duplicate shooting off-hand, as that is the way I'll shoot while hunting. Most, if not all, 2 piece stocked guns will change POI when switching from one method to the other.
