Cheek weld technique that I like/use.
Since you don't want to death grip/pressure the stock. As if you put your head/cheek down on a pillow. No extra down muscle force required. This will keep you relaxed behind the rifle without
cramping up and it should be a position of relative comfort that you can hold for quite some time. Adjust height of cheek piece on stock as required.
Also, I don't move my head(much) back and forth to get in the eye box of the scope...get comfy behind the rifle/scope....now move the scope to get proper eye relief. Try to fit the rifle to your
position of comfort, not the other way around.
Load the bipod consistently....how much forward pressure?.....just enough so the rifle doesn't slip down out of the shoulder pocket, if the rear of the stock were not supported.
When your shot breaks... which way is your scope jumping?....ideally, your position behind the rifle is such, that your scope recoils straight back and you are able to pick up your target
again, through the scope after you recover. If your reticle moves inconsistent or far off the target (when the shot breaks) then you are not consistent or proper behind the rifle.
Think about the billiard ball on the pool table...if you shoot it straight against the perpendicular wall, it will come straight back to you. The wall is like your shoulder, you want the force of the recoil
to come straight back on the shoulder pocket/body, and you want to oppose that force perfectly perpendicular. Other wise, just like the billiard ball, the flight path to the bullet will deviate, because
you are putting an angular force on the rear of the stock during the recoil.
