Getting too close to the scope on the bench is a common problem. This happens because the gun and your body/ head isn't in the same place as when you are shooting off hand. I suspect as others have stated that the position shooting off the bench is wrong. Good accuracy comes with repeating everything that is right as close as possible. My suggestion is to try to duplicate the gun position from off hand when on the bench. The more you shoot the better you will get.
