Picked this one up today. If my groups suck, its probably just me

Caldwell Lead Sled FCX

FG

That ought to do the trick - that really looks neat....

Let me know how it works. I've been looking at them myself. How much did you pay for it?

Just to warn you on those shooting sleds. ONLY use them sight your gun in and then go back to sandbags or something that you can FEEL the recoil. I shot all my guns off my sled for one season and when it came to hunting I was pulling everyshot due to the recoil. Now everyone is different, but for me I need to feel that recoil. I have a natural tendacy to pull to the left, so all my scopes shoot to the right for someone that doesn't pull. So the reason I pulled during hunting is the sled corrected the pull but out in the field I still did my pull, so I missed alot. Went back to shooting on a Stoney Point bag and the next hunting season was one shots one kill.

That is a sweet sled and appears to allow for some muzzle rise and recoil. I seldom weight down my sled unless im shooting top end loads or if its going to be a long range day.

I agree though. I get the groups i want on a sled first then the final sight in is off of a rest. POI may or may not change depending on the weight of the sled and recoil. Even your own body mass has an effect.

Ive got some low kickers that hit close enough they dont need final adjustments.

Just be prepared for your POI to be different under hunting conditions. Tom.

That rest costs more than the Optima i am shooting! Amazing how we buy expensive stuff like this or even a scope that costs the same or more than the rifle did! I figured i'd do most of my shooting off the Tack Driver bag i got as well. The snazzy rest is for load development/extreme accuracy out to 200 yards. http://www.battenfeldtechnologies.co...shoulder-strap
