Saxman....proper practice without the Lead Sled will cure your flinch. I patterened 3 Turkey guns this Spring using 3.5" #6s (12ga) tungsten pellets with 2.25 oz.loads. If that don't give ya a flinch,,,you're a better man than me.
I've read numerous reports about the LS busting scopes. I tend to believe them,,although I don't own one,,and won't.
For the "non-believers"....I'll ask this.....
Why do air guns trash scopes so easily with the "reverse recoil"??
