kc,
Interesting!
I tend to use softer rests than many shooters, especially with lighter rifles, and many 99's are pretty might. In fact these days I often drape a folded-up towel over the front rest, because I've found the point-of-impact from shooting over the towel duplicates the POI when shooting the same rifle over a daypack--which is how I often shoot at longer ranges in the field.
