The majority of Bench rest rifles are Prone rifles with modified or new special stocks fitted. They have an extra wide, flat bottomed stock (maximum of 75mm). This is done to give the rifle stability when mounted on to the stand. A high power telescopic sight (24x power +) is used, but the most are variable power up to 60x (12-42x seems to be the norm).
