[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 861245, member: 10755"] I think your biggest problem is using a leadsled. Unless you get the rifle to be exactly in the same position for each shot, it will impact on POI. You would be better off shooting with a bipod on the front, or a solid rest, and a soft bag at the rear under your shooting hand. Using your left hand to squeeze the bag to alter point of aim. If recoil becomes too much, get yourself some 3/4" high density foam rubber and cut it to fit under your shirt to dampen the recoil. No matter what anyone tells you, no one likes recoil, I can handle very heavy recoil due to conditioning, but I don't like it and will do what I suggest to you because recoil is accumulative. If I have to do some testing off the bench with my 416Rigby, I will use a piece of foam under my shirt, and I don't care about what other macho types think, because when I offer them a shot of my 416Rigby, most decline!! I actually sight in my rifles off the bench, then check off sticks or just offhand in field like positions, kneeling or sitting. Hope this helps. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
