Default shooting rest and sighting in rifle

Hey guys, I just purchased a Remington 700 30.06 that came with a Bushnell Banner scope and I need to get it sighted in. I know the methods on sighting in a rifle but wondering what everyone has found the best rest is for this procedure? I know there are a lot topics on this but wanted to see if anyone can shed some more light on what to use. Sand bags or maybe a caldwell lead sled? It will only be used for sighting in and trying some different loads out. If some of you like sand bags, which front and rear bags do you recommend to use without a rest on a bench? If I go with bags I will put them right on the bench so the rear bag has to be big enough to use with a large front bag. If you guys suggest a actual rest, what do you recommend and your experiences with them? Thanks guys.
