beleg2 A double rifle will never regulate properly if the rifle touches anything other than the shooter's face, hands, and shoulder! The quote below is my answer to a post about a lead-sled, but it explains the reason for the double rifle touching anything other than the shooter, is detramental to regulation!

The lead-sled is OK for some rifles, but should never be used with a double rifle! This is more detrimental with a side by side than an over under, but it will not give you a proper regulation with either one. A double rifle depends on the recoil arch to regulate properly. A double rifle should never touch anything other that a shooter's shoulder, face, and hands! The double rifle must absolutely be allowed to recoil as if being fired off hand, to work properly. You may rest the rifle on sand bags, but only if your hand is between the bag and the rifle, with the rifle being gripped by the hand. The butt, should not be rested on anything but resting against your shoulder. A good PAST recoil shield is the equipment you need. Even if the sled doesn't break your stock, the rifle will not regulate properly when one is used with a double rifle!
