How do you press the rifle against your shoulder? Do you create any tension using your trigger arm, pulling the rifle into your shoulder? How about the weak hand arm? When shooting with a bipod, is all the tension generated by loading your shoulder into the rifle, which loads the rifle against the bipod?

I use weak hand arm when shooting from a rested position. Trigger arm barely touching the stock at all, just to stabilize, and slow squeeze until it goes bang (using right side thumb placement). Bipod yes, I load it onto my shoulder with bipod tension with off-hand support. It's much easier to be accurate if each arm is only doing one thing. Right arm, squeeze trigger, left arm, hold gun (sometimes by the butt stock). Less influence while pulling the trigger, more consistency has been my experience.
