Older Original Lead Sled

[Redmt]

All of that certainly makes sense. My thought was to be able to stabilize my rifle better to repeat point of aim. My problem is that I slip and slide all over my front Caldwell bags. I had 2 bags stacked and it was like stacking marbles so I went to a single bag on top of a chink of 2x12 and a 4x6 on top of that then using a single bag. I shoulder hold the stock as in normal shooting position. It's me that is the problem. I have trouble holding steady to check actual groups. I don't have any issues hunting as I can always find some sort of prop. For hunting I have a very good natural point of aim, for one shot. At 200 yds moment of baseball is just fine.
I'm going to try a front bipod and rear bag for support and see if that cures my issue with qualifying 3-5 shot groups

Don't put any weight in the sled and it'll work just fine for a front/rear rest at the range. If a scope comes apart from laying in an unweighted sled it was garbage from the get-go. Even my Leupold survived in an unweighted sled, conversely, an atv ride rattled it apart.

Funny about the atv rattling it apart. I have an $89.00 Bushnell that has been on a. Mini 14 on the front rack of my Fourtrax for so long it is actually turned gold from sunburn. It's every bit as accurate as it was coming out of the box.

See if you can’t find one of these for a reasonable price: https://www.caldwellshooting.com/rests/shooting-rests/the-rock-deluxe-shooting-rest/383774.html

That, paired with a good rear bag, has made all the difference in my accuracy work.

Harris bipod and a rear bag with bunny ears is my go to. I ditched the lead sled when I started seeing all the wonky things happening.

This rear bag works very well. For height just shim it up with wood at your bench.

These are nice. There is one at the range I shoot at.

I have to admit, I’m struggling to understand why it’s so difficult to just use a rear and front sandbag to shoot. A folded up towel can raise the front enough to cover most any situation, or so it would seem.

My range is at home. My target stand is a couple feet higher than my bench. It's just enough to raise the barrel about 12" off my bench. 100 yds of clear, accessible, safe shooting area is not really accessible. We make do with what we have. A nice dead flat safe range area would be nice.

Works for me...like bags, shoulder takes the hit

Didn’t know they made that, wouldn’t mind trying it someday.
