Bungee on two piece rest?

I have tried and it works great. I am using it to manage recoil. as I believe recoil management is part of tuning. even though in this picture I am shooting without a tuner, slowing the rearward motion helps the barrel with its upward movement.

I have shot F/open for awhile never saw this trick ?
Just push rife to rest stop, no pressure on stock and little on the trigger .
When dry firing can see if your centered.
Adjust position to correct.
Hard hold on stock can make the impact to the left in most cases.

Mostly used in RF BR. I haven't seen this on any CF set-up
I used a bungee cord and a piece of electrical wiring bent to fit the trigger guard to do both in my mind, Adjusting the length of the bungee cord controlled the recoil and return to battery. I played with the "tension" by adjusting the length of the wire that hooked to the front of the trigger guard until I found the right set up. Used it on a Anschutz MPR 64 for a couple years with a BE front rest and rear bag, then used a mechanical rear rest.
Exit timing. It can be changed with changes to resistance of recoil.

With a 2 piece setup you’re wasting your time, any resistance you need you get with front bag tarsion. I doubt you’ll see few if any at any kind of decent match.
Common with one piece rests.

Consistent bipod loading.. That's a big part of the puzzle, IMHO.
I have rifles that are about 7# and they definitely move. I have rifles that are 10#+ and they move. It's not like a centerfire but they definitely slide back. They'll twist too due to the rifled bore. Fortunately flat forends and bipods help to negate that
The first time I used a bungee I thought it was pretty cool. I didn't have it very tight and when shooting free recoil the gun would come back and then spring forward to the stop. It's neat to look through the scope and see it aligned with the POA again. I'm currently shooting my UL gun locked down. It doesn't budge

Bungee tension is important IMO as I believe it is part of the tuning equation. I had a few ask me how I know how much to use. This is how and what I use to measure (suitcase scale). I also believe the bungee needs to have a way to always be centered using a steel ring allows a pivot point, so it stays centered during recoil.

I've never seen in person a locked down rimfire BR rifle. Can you give a few more details on what "locked down" means or looks like?
I simply tighten the sides of the rest against the sides of the forend so the rifle can't move.
That would be viable argument !!

Bad idea Pat, let the gun move, you will be farther ahead in the long run.
