First there are no quick easy answers. It also depends on are you paying a match entry fee going to the gravel pit and resting it on something to take the shot. There are two kinds of barrels factory style drill and tap into barrel or dovetail with hanger bar. I've paid a lot of match entry fee and here are the things that have helped me get my money back

Light trigger - about a smooth 1 pound
Good pillar bedded forend - I like Tony's
Good front rest
Good rear bag
Good optics
Meticulous hand loading

If your just want to play with it to see what it will do get rested as steady as you can just slightly ahead of the trigger guard. Practice practive practice.

Oversize hinge pins are a scam that only ruins barrels and frames.
