Should one "pull" down and back with offhand when shooting a rifle?

Like a lot of people do when shooting a handgun, to help control and reduce recoil? Or should you simply let the rifle rest in your left (or right if you're a lefy) hand?

No. Just lightly grip the rifle enough to steady and support it. Any pulling you do will affect your accuracy.
