This and this^^
For strictly sighting in,you want the most rock solid stable rest possible to help eliminate the human error factor.
Once you’re satisfied that the gun itself is on target you can work on your own shooting skills.
It’s amazing(and a bit disturbing) how many guys I’ve seen over the years go out to gravel pit to “sight-in” a new rifle or new scope,take a knee and fire 3 shots offhand into a 4” group and declare their rifle “bang on/good to go”......kinda makes me cringe!!
