Thread: Best hold for ultralight rifle

There will be plenty of opinions, which means there’s no absolutely one right answer. One opinion is effectively stated by ‘The Real Gunsmith’ on YouTube, titled ‘bench resting’ or somesuch. I also have a Montana 308, and if not planning to use it exclusively off a bipod I’ve found a firm hold on the forend is best at replicating field conditions. Yes you will be affected by pulse movement in your hand and won’t get benchrest precision but having a light rifle jumping around off a rest isn’t ideal either. The Montana stock configuration and the trigger are a magical combination for offhand shooting in my hands, not what you’d expect from an ultralight.
