Bigbore96, Picher's suggestions are great for learning how rifles and ammo shoots accurately. If you want to learn, and excel with, the skills and knowledge of shooting rifles off your shoulder, get a high end match rifle that's fired at targets from 200 to 1000 yards from standing, sitting and from prone postions. You have to hold these rifles still by yourself. Benchrest rifles sit atop rests perfectly still and are virtually untouched by humans except for their trigger finger on a 2-ounce trigger.
There's no accuracy difference between benchrest and match rifles; the best of both types shoot under 1/4 MOA at 100 yards, 1/3 MOA at 300, 1/2 MOA at 600 and 3/4 MOA at 1000. It's how each is held that makes groups shot in competition in benchrest matches measured to much smaller dimensions that what's shot from hand held, shoulder mounted, match rifles on their targets.
