No lead sled, but have something very similar to this for checking loads and sighting in. ![[Linked Image from gun.deals]](https://gun.deals/sites/default/files/Screen%20Shot%202018-09-23%20at%206.38.39%20PM.jpg) Works out great. Moves with the rifle, and adds just enough to take the sting out of extended periods from the bench.
Guns are responsible for killing as much as Rosie O'Donnel's fork is responsible for her being FAT.

It’s handy when you are shooting a bunch of rifles in. I use no weight. When I get rifle on, I use a rest and bags to double check.

Well, I'm ready to get flamed, but I have been using one for years and love it. The haters will tell you they are no good and break stocks because they are so rigid, especially if you add weight to the sled. I bought mine, padded it, use NO additional weight shoot and some heavier recoil guns like 12 gauge slug guns and I'm still waiting for my first broken stock. I have one of the original lead sleds, and it weighs 17 pounds. If you use it on a smooth surface it will slide at the shot into your shoulder, hence no solid rigidity. I am in effect add 17 pounds to the weight of the gun and can shoot 12 gauge slugs all day in a t-shirt. Here is how I padded it. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/R645r4d/DSCN1659.jpg) do you take it up in your tree stand? An 87 yard shot can be challenging g with a 7mm or 30 06

Yes, I got one for christmas a while back. It makes sighting in easy....setup your rifle in the sled and aim - shoot - and dial your scope to the hole = one shot sighting in.
Whoteewho uses them alot in his videos and he's a pretty good shot and gets a good cheek weld.

If you're ever trying to work up a load for a 458 Lott you'll love one. Just don't weight it down too much.

I use one all the time with no weight added.I have no problem with a cheek weld as I have long arms.I also shoot about 200 rounds at a session of every thing from 300 Wins to 6MM CM.I shoot two to three times a week.I also do a lot of off hand and prone shooting at gongs.
Its all right to be white!!

Me, I cut the lower legs off old work pants, sew or gorilla glue one end, fill, tie the open end with twine. Denim and Carhartt works ok.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Mine was baby blue with navy leather - acres of navy leather and the best AC in the world - so cold that frost would form on the metal vents. I could burn rubber for about a block in that thing and I despoiled many a young lass in the back seat. + I'm not a negro.

I use a DHT2 when zeroing in. Anyone that thinks they soak up a lot of recoil isn't using one. They are on three legs with rounded feet and the thing slides back under recoil. I have to reposition it after nearly every shot. The advantage over bags is that you can virtually eliminate any movement at all when zeroing in.

I fill gallon zip lock bags with dried chainsaw chips, stuff them in empty shot bags, then zip tie the open end shut. Stack them as you like under the forend and butt. Nice and light as well. With lots of use, the chips will deteriorate some, but are easy to replace. If shooting a hard kicker, put a partially filled bag behind the butt. I use them when shooting my handguns as well. Throw a piece of leather over the front bags of you're shooting a magnum revolver...

I saw a guy using a Lead Sled fire his expensive 30-06 in it, and the recoil broke his stock clean off at the pistol grip.
He was not a happy guy. Burl wood. Probably had a brittle spot...
