Cabelas Lead Sled DFT
andersonjk4:
My buddy bought the same thing for the same price this time last year from Cabela's... I think its a great deal. I have used his many times and it works great. Like stated before its not really going to teach you much about shooting long range, but I think they are great for working up and testing new loads or sighting in rifles. Once you get your loads and rifle dialed in then you can ditch the sled and work on long range skills without it.
high country:
Pay attention to Jim. If you shoot a light rifle from a sled and then from the prone.....don't be surprised if the poi is different. The way your rifle recoils has much to do with its accuracy and consistency.
blacktailer:
Thanks for the info. Not intending to use it as a long range practice tool but rather to get my gun dialed in and zeroed at 200.
Jim the Plumber:
There are a slew of items that will be vastly more beneficial to you for that $100.00 than a sled. The $100.00 will be way better spent toward ammo, trigger time, optics upgrade, etc, etc, especially if you want to go long.
A rifle can be zeroed and loads worked up by using a good bi-pod and a rear bag, both of which you should use in the field for long range shooting anyway.
high country:
I too would endorse a bipod and bags over a lead sled. The sled is false hope....IMO.
