Have you 'fitted' your rifle yet ? I fit all my rifles which means adjusting the length, packing the comb so that when the rifle is shouldered with eyes closed and the eye is opened it is looking straight down the scope at a clear image.
For practice, walk around the backyard for ten minutes every day cocking and snapping off shots ( a 'snap cap' is required) at knot holes in the fence etc. Very soon the rifle will become a part of you.
'Natural point of aim' as described in a thread / vid by Norway and touched on above by Mickey Duck is a very useful check before shooting. I only learnt that last year from Norways vids and it made a tremendous difference to my 'all positions' field shooting.
