Depends to a large degree on what I am shooting, the type of sights, and the position I am shooting from. But one thing is a decided constant...firmly pressing the stock into my shoulder.
I agree! If shooting a heavy kicker from the bench, I not only firmly press the butt into my shoulder, I also get a good hard left-hand grip on the forend, and rest my left hand on the sandbag. This gives me two hands on the situation! In addition, if shooting something like my No. 1 .45/70 which tends to jump up, I have to loop my left index finger over the barrel to keep it from leaving my left hand!
