If the ML in question has a radius buttstock, it goes on your arm, not your shoulder. This is to let the recoil turn you a little bit, to dampen the felt recoil.
Shotgun butts get held in the new- fangled way. The elbow on the chest, with the hand well back on the forestock is particularly helpful if your weak side really is weak (I had a stroke, but it hasn't put me out of business yet). Shooting sticks are good, but need as much practice shooting with, as it took to learn the rifle in the first place. I reserve them for my big heavy .58 double rifle.
