My suggestion would be to rig up a bit of a standing rest.

Far more comfortable and apart from a few shots required
from the sitting position to get the sights spot on,
the best and most confortable position to shoot such a big bore.






Yes, I agree with John. The standing rest made the recoil from my .450/.400 feel whimpy compared with the .338 from a bench. And, having felt no recoil at all when shooting a deer with the .400, I now wonder if I should have got something bigger for Africa - at least for the psychological load.

Cheers
