This...He has a little brother for the back end...You've seen the bench.

I use a front rest and rear bag. I dont believe in the lead sled type rests.

 

[Rbelote]

I also like bipods and a rear bag.

I like the sandbag concept...very portable...take it anywhere...shoot off the hood of the truck...killed a deer like that once....

Good sniper would never use a led sled...BIG GRIN BIG GRIN

Shooting sticks can be handi as well...I'm so OLD SCHOOL

I think a lead sled will give you a different zero than putting the rifle against your shoulder. Trustme you wont shoulder the sled the same way, because it has a longer length of pull and it boxy compared to a round buttstock. SUre if it is a heavily recoiling gun then use one to get close, but then push it to the side for fine tuneing.

Shoot a good 308 Win...no recoil...snipers been dialing in folks with them many yrs...Don't need them big mags....young mans toys.

 

[GunOneDown]

never thought of it that way, but it is right once i thought about it.

That lead sled is also real hard on a rifle...it sends all the recoil right back into the tang and can lead to a split stock over time...

 

[GunOneDown]

downside to everything I guess.

Don't own one -- have a bipod for most of the tactical rifles ... I like shooting from the prone ..

DFT Leadsled. Have shot both of my 300 mag claibers from it now for sometime with no side effects yet. I think you run into trouble with leadsled type rest when you weight them down too much like with 100lbs to where they don't hardly move at all. I use less then 50lbs on mine.

I like the shootin sticks or bipod for the bench. Grandpaw said always shoot from shoulder so you know what you got

I use a tree,fence post, but mostly my truck toolbox, but my WIFE shoots off of a shooting rest(like a led sled)!!! hahaha
