I've done a little messing around adding weight to one of my P35s for 30 yard challenge shooting. But it occurred to me to ask more experienced bench shooters. I'm sure weight helps tame guns with recoil but does weight help 5 lb 22 caliber 32fpe airguns too? If so, do you have a favorite way to add weight? How much would you add?
Added weight for benchrest shooting.

I think the weight helps for more than recoil. I think it keeps the rifle more steady too. Requires more effort to move the rifle, all your twitches, breathing, etc.
The best ways I have to add weight are MLOK weight bars when available and with a heavy scope. I have seen people adding brass bars using flashlight type Picatinny adapters too. I have considered possibly doing this if I end up with a rifle where my other options don’t work.
