I have an old, but pristine Remington 760 in 30:06. How do I support the rather spongy forend of this rifle whilst shooting off a bench rest? The trigger has been done, a decelerator recoil pad installed. It has been re-crowned, and swivels installed. With the honed action, it has to be one of the slickest pumps around.

I wanted a rifle that was basic and not too fancy. I already have beautiful rifles,and synthetic stocked, post modern rifles. I just wanted a mutt of a rifle. It is my third rifle chambered in 30:06.

Any tips for shooting this thing off the bench would be dearly appreciated. As it is now, I can shoot this thing far more accurately in a sitting position than I can off a bench rest. The spongy forend is entirely to blame. It does shoot, but I would love to see what it can really do.

Thank you
