The 300 mt standing stance is near enough identical to air and .22, especially as most now use a lower recoil calibre 6mm BR, only a little more care to place the butt in the shoulder rather than upper arm. Even when we shot 7.62mm in 300mts the position was still the same. I have a picture of my wife shooting 300 mt Standing in the 80's (I don't have the technology to put it up) with the same soft stance she used for air rifle. She used factory Lapua 170 gr's, mind you it was quite funny to watch as the recoil would cause her to rock back a bit and she'd have to reform her position after every shot! Still shot 90's though!
Good shooting.
