Lower your center of gravity by crouching, kneeling or laying down. Slow your breathing rate. Brace the rifle or your holding arm if possible. Keep both eyes open when sighting.
Relax your muscles and slowly squeeze off the shot instead of trying to jerk or slap the trigger.
Make sure your sight or scope is properly set.

Everyone above has great advice. Just to add my advice to the chorus...
TO each their own. Relaxing your muscles and concentrating on your target to the exclusion of other stimuli is a start. Also, it might be a good idea to get a scope (if possible) for your firearm. Either have the scope/gun sighted in by a pro, or grab yourself a laser sight to help. My tried and true method was to just go out and start shooting. This way you can get a feel for your gun, get it sighted in, save some money, and have a greater appreciation for the use of your firearm.
Most importantly is to do what works for you. Each gun is different, just as each shooter. Good luck!!!

Different strokes for different folks,you named some good ones,If hunting and able though, the laying on the ground or across something allows even the heart beat to have less an effect on your shot if U do the squeeze trigger stuff right,and it allows you to relax if time is on your side.Your gun is off to right or left resting on solid something and breathing as well as heart beat should be less worry.

When the rifle is fired be pointing the gun at the exact spot you want to hit, of course compnesate for the wind and bullet drop.

Breath control, good sight picture, smooth trigger squeeze. All are much easier if you relax a bit before taking the shot.

Sight your weapon close to range you wish to be accurate at,take your time and study trajectories of different ammunition , prone will be easiest for physical steadiness and a support made for your weapon will help,always squeeze trigger on breath out, practice at different times of day(light)and practice with different winds as both could effect your judgment.

first off get a scope that is right for the rifle. the problem with scopes is that the less you pay the poorer the glass. you have to get good glass or you have waisted your money

I agree with a lot of the above. But most of all frank is right. Practice.

Use a gun rest. Sandbags work well. Start shooting at targets that are close, then move them back as you get better.
Good luck.
