if you mount the bipod as designed with the legs forward when folded (on harris and caldwell type), you can still squeeze the rifle into your shoulder with your grip while using the bipod to support your foreend. or if you want to press foreward into the bipod then the legs will dig in, and holding your shoulder into it with your grip, then you have the best of both going on. if you have the rifle properly seated on a solid part of your body, (the chest side of your shoulder joint, i have seen people put the recoil pad on their upper arm), this will reduce the recoil movement the most, giving you the most consistent shot.
Here's some youtube to help.
