[QUOTE="jameslovesjammie, post: 124932, member: 4451"] I am looking at getting a better rest. My current rest is an old cloth cylinder and rear rest is a homemade sandbag setup. I really like the sandbag in the rear, but was looking for something a little more steady. While browsing through the MidwayUSA catalog, I came across the Caldwell Lead Slead DFT. It is similar to the Lead Sled but the front has windage and elevation adjustments similar to their Rock BR front rest. The DFT stands for Dual Frame Technology, since it has 2 tubes running down the length of the rest instead of one. This allows you to move the front forward and backward to accomodate for different length guns. I was wondering if anyone here has used one on their big boomers. I don't get to do as much shooting as I used to, and it really showed last time I went to the range. I took 5 shots with my .270 WSM and my shoulder was red and I began flinching. Didn't even finish load development as I didn't trust the groups I was producing. If the windage and elevation are easilly adjusted and it calms recoil as well as they claim...I think it would justify the $219 price tag. I wouldn't fork out the $100 for the regular one though, as its elevation adjustment doesn't seem that easy to me. Sorry for the long post and looking forward to replies, James [/QUOTE]
