One problem with the lead sleds and Savage 99's is that you're making the buttstock handle much of the recoil. Rather than transferring much of the force back into your <soft> shoulder, the buttstock is up against a <hard> wall on the sled that doesn't give much. That makes me worry about tang cracks on them more.

For other rifles than 99's.. love 'em! grin
