In my case, .308, moderately heavy rifle, front on bipod, rear supported by my arms resting on a carpeted wood box, my torso braced against the side of a fixed concrete benchtop, my butt on a fixed concrete seat, my legs both well braced on a concrete floor.
I can get pretty stable there & don't know what else I could have done to shoot any better.
Tried loading in & tried loading back, with bipod facing in both directions.
No claims to being world-class, but not new to shooting for accuracy, either.
Professional-grade rifle, excellent glass, great trigger.
With scope, my head rides a little higher when scrunched up on the bench than when using irons, so the rifle was comfortable to get behind.
Much more so than the Mosin that out-shot that rifle.
Comparing scoped to scoped, a Ruger American in .308 with a Weaver mounted shot tighter at the same range & distance, in the same caliber, but when fired off one of the carpeted boxes instead of a bipod.
I shoot routinely for accuracy & have a fairly decent handle on technique.
