[QUOTE="JeffP40, post: 698538, member: 6625"] My only experience with those type of rests was not good. A friend has a varmint type rest, not a lead sled, and I could not get a consistent hold with the rifle. It seemed to me that the buttstock would not return to the same position and settle in to the rest. Out of 4 rifles I shot that day, only one shot like it normally did. Granted, it was only one time, but I recall having a hard time getting a consistent reaction to recoil when shooting. It felt like the rifle recoiled differently each time, and the groups were not good. I had a #1 in 223 years ago that also was finicky about how it was held. I could see a marked difference in grouping if I was not paying attention. Maybe this particular rifle is female and only wants to be treated a certain way. :) [/QUOTE]
