Default Questions about properly sighting my rifles

Well, i have been trying to site in my rifles lately and just can't seem to get a real good grasp on doing it effectively. I am not using any type of vice at the moment, just a front rest that they have at the range (wood grooves).. I have not been getting what i want out of a group. IN fact, when i started out i was about 9+ inches off the center of the target with my model 70. What i did was a 3 shot group, then adjust the scope using the dials. let it cool and another 3 shot group.. still not able to get tight groups.

I know i am moving and getting fatigue. I assume i should be using something to rest the butt/stock of the rifle on so i get no movent. Would you all say this is absolutely necessary to get these 1" groups? I think that's the problem. I just want to confirm this. Remember, i am new to rifles for hunting so i can use any help i can get to properly sight my guns in.
