I've got news for you, but benchrest rifles aren't worth a s^#t while NOT on the bench

I have never read such a in-accurate statement in my life. I have 3 bench rifles,One which i take Yote hunting along with my 223 for those 600 yard and farther shots. This rifle is not in a bench while I am Yote hunting. Granted it is in a Rest of some sort (just the front) as it does weigh in at over 14 lbs.

I give your statement half credibility only due to the fact that free handing with a bench rifle would be very tough or the person would have to have increadible upper body strength. Accuracy from a bench rifle does not come from sitting on a rest buddy it comes from the rifle it self
