Since I most often hunt the prairie, a set of the long Harris bi-pods are the ticket. When on a sit, I try to set up with the bi pods in position. I believe they are 27" long when deployed. Perfect for setting on your butt. With a muzzy, it's one shot game anyway.

I'd be real happy shooting that good free hand at 50 yards with a scope ~ standing that is.....................
I always carry sticks ...............you need them in open country !!!

I'm booked for a month of hunting in Alberta this fall. Open country, long distance shooting. I'll have to get me a set of those shooting sticks for the 270.
We have elk, mulies, whitetails and maybe moose on the agenda. Going to be a great time.

When sighting in I always use a rest. When hunting I try to seek out a rest, but sometimes its not possible. When I have to shoot off hand I dont try to hold steady on the target. I hold low and slowly raise my crosshairs until they center the target then squeeze the trigger. This has always work out pretty good for me.

I agree a good rest improves the hunting experence. I at one time liked to sit in the sun shining on one side or the other rather than right in my face. Normally about 2:30 PM esdst for just an hour.
