I don't know many people that pack in a bench!

As has been said, rifles MAY shoot differently with a bipod. I usually shoot "semi free recoil" and that works for me and mine. (That is not pulling the gun hard into the shoulder and letting it slide/flip off the front hand/rest) Others find that loading the bipod is more effective, or a firmer hold.

When testing ammo/zeroing I do off a bipod, then verify it with a few rounds from field positions, usually no adjustment necessary.

Each rifle is like a woman. Temperamental and with their own peculiarities. Some have nicer curves than others, some like a firm grip, some don't. Some run hot and you need to let them cool off. But feed em right and learn what they like and you're away...(and make sure there's no screws loose or you're in for frustration)
