I always pull my shots to the right when I shoot my milsurps from the bench. so far my gew88,mosin and lee metford all shot to the right. what am I doing wrong? when I shoot offhand I shoot fine but just off the bench or rest they land to the right.

Hi,
A couple of thoughts come to mind. When shooters shoot standing or kneeling they often introduce an angle to their rifle think "|" vs "\". This is natural but your sights might be set for the angle that you naturally shoot at and when you bench the rifle you are now holding it "|" and the point of impact moves. This means re-sighting between positions.
The other thought is trigger pull (more often a problem with pistols) but if your pull is not straight back then you can induce a torque and move the Point of Impact. To help make sure your thumb is in line (right behind) with your trigger (not wrapped around the stock) and the trigger pull is straight back.
Hope that helps!
