I have spent quite a bit of time and money competing off the bench and prone and building rifles for myself and others to do the same. For these rifles, I wanted to achieve the very best accuracy I could, of course. With my hunting rifles, I don't even shoot them much from the bench and seldom shoot groups. Same with the silhouette rifles. I'll fire a couple of groups during initial testing and may fire from a rest to confirm zero later on but that's about it. Compared to the obsessive-compulsive behavior required for BR or "F" Class, I find the less stringent requirements for hunting rifles and even the silhouette rifles to be liberating. GD
