All,

I have a lot of experience with the Led Sled. I have been using one for about 5 years and have fired thousands of rounds from it. I use it for magazine rifles, but have never tried my double from it.

I have fired everything from .223 to .458 Lott from the sled. I have seen no change of POI. I have never broken a stock. I have, however, broken some scope bases. there is no doubt that shooting from the sled increases stress on the gun, because it has no where else to go. I consider the sled an excellent tool for assesing the overall strength of a shooting system. If it can hold up on the sled, you have a good reliable kit that is ready to hunt!

Myabe I'm just crazy but I have used a Lead Sled for years with a double rifle and for me it works just fine. Maybe it's because I don't overload the Sled with lead but only moderate the recoil, or maybe with some guns the concern about a completely unrestricted butt plate is more of an issue on paper than in reality, but from the experience of using a double rifle and a Lead Sled in a modest way, I just don't see the reason for this degree fear. My gun shoots great both on and off the Sled. Maybe my gun is a fluke, and maybe I'm whacko, but I just haven't had any problems and find the Sled very useful.
