It doesnt matter if it is a rimflee or a 300 winmag.
A 4-6lb sandbag on the loose side and.optionally a quality bipod with sturdy base.
other than than that, snd wo bipod a 2x8 or two to raise it.
Easy to tailor and make it your own.
Nothing else too fancy one can buy commercial is going to produce better results.
The people might think there is something better but reality says there is not. If there was, elite shooters would use it but instead they use sandbags and/or bipod prone or against a bag or barricade.

I have shot in the bench rest league at Pine Tree Rifle Club for a number of years on Monday evening and they have multiple groups for different shooters with different rifle. On the high end would be Anschutz, Copper, Remington 40x and Winchester 52 for the more advanced target classes. I had been using a Ruger 77/22 with a factory contour Shilen barrel in sporter class, in years passed. I may now be shooting a newer to me 77/22 with a heavy .920 Shilen barrel in one of the target classes.
Are you planning on competition or just relaxation?
The CZ's are a good choice to start out with, they seem to be one of the top choices in NRL22 matches ( also something I am getting interested in at my Club )

Oop's my bad I read " Looking for a good rifle for bench rest
I started out wit a Caldwell Rock Deluxe Shooting Rest then a shooter that was retiring sold me a Rock BR Competition Front Shooting Rest. along with a rear bag also.
There are (as you may well know) a lot of options with new Rifles and there's a price to go along with them.
No knowing your stage in the game or budget I'll make a few suggestions:
If you're shooting at a Club or Competition, you might ask around to see if someone's upgrading or getting out and wants to sell their rig.
Syracuse and Buffalo Gun Shows are coming up this month, and there's always the chance of finding exactly what you want.
Repeatability, Sights and/or Optics are the real key to accuracy... finding the "right ammunition" is another, and along the way to finding that golden bullet, you'll learn the rifle and build skill with it.

I was looking getting a Caldwell Deadshot front/rear bag set. They seem to overfilled to mold them.
Anyone use them? Have you dumped some fill out for better use?
