I don't have a benchrest rifle but use the same technique in almost all my firearms.

Benchrest techniques used in competition have the 13 pound rifle resting on bags untouched by human's except for a finger on the 1 to 2 ounce trigger. The rifle recoils freely and very repeatable from shot to shot. 22 and 24 caliber bullets in small cases don't move the rifle very much during barrel time.
When we hold and aim the rifle, groups show how precise we shoot them. If you ever watch a dozen people shooting a 5 shot group shouldering a 12 pound 308 Win scoped match rifle with a 2 pound trigger resting on bags atop a bench then see groups at 100 yards ranging from 1/2 to well over 2 inches, you'll understand.
