Bench technique for consistent grouping with an AR?

Second, the body is part of the rifle system, and the weight of the shoulder affects muzzle jump.

That's why precision shooters always go for a tight buttstock to shoulder weld. Using the classic military sling makes that weld even tighter.

I'm not so much concerned about perceived recoil as I am with this aspect and its affect on accuracy. When shooting offhand I always pull a rifle in tight but didn't see the value of it shooting from a rest. I'm learning that it is just as important in both positions. Thanks.
