Thanks Mike for kicking me in the pants and getting me curious...

I am still uncertain about the effect a solid, unmoveable sled would make on a fine double stock, especially when lots of shots are fired, but hell's bell's, I'm not arguing with Xausa one little bit!!

But as for the zeroing WITH A BULL-BARRELLED, ONE-PIECE-STOCKED RIFLE, I noticed no change.

I left work a wee bit early today, raced home and loaded the Series 11 Ranger with my varmint-shooting kit and headed for my pine plantation. I shot four more, making the total for the year an even 100.

I've never used one of these sleds until today, so I was really curious as to what it might do to POI with my heavy barrel .223.

Here's the setup with the first kill of the evening:

After we clearcut and burned, the ground was clear for a couple years and shots were easy. Now the rascals have lots of cover to hide behind. This means many shots are head only, and a squirrel at even 70 meters like this one giving only a look-see at his eyeballs is a tough shot. The SLED did not seem to have any impact on, well, impact...that is, POI. Here's one that was laying behind a log, and only peeked over for a moment. All I had was eyeball, and that's what I took:

Shooting off the deck on the Ranger makes it all pretty easy I guess, if the shots comply, but the Lead Sled seemed to be a real help, and my old handmade rests might just get backburned...
