David Tubb covers this and more in detail in his book, "Highpower Rifle". As the title suggests, it's oriented toward highpower competition, but it transfers well to general riflery. G.

Note: don't change your grip or else it all has to be redone (if you're a perfectionist). Watch olympic pistol shooters - they rest the gun on a table but don't let go. If they do, they check their NPA when they pick it up again and adjust as necessary.

Where you find the crosshairs or the front post is the natural point of aim. Adjust your position so that when you do this exercise, you find the target under the crosshairs or sitting atop the front post. This stops you from 'muscling' your rifle, the main cause of inconsistent shooting. MC Riflery: Relax your muscles, close your eyes, then open them and peer through the sights.
