Just curious here. But pad or no pad why would one want or need to shoot scores of rounds through their elk rifle off the bench? It’s literally the least beneficial shooting practice one can get unless you elk hunt from the bench.
I can tell you how many rounds I’ve put through my normal “elk rifle” in the last three years from the bench. 6, two per year to verify zero. Not to say I haven’t put a bunch more through it but they’ve all been from field positions.
Most on here don't understand this post. Bravo....
