[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1605836, member: 63925"] memtb, you are 100% correct about lead sleds. I guess I would hope the boomer rifle has high quality rings and bases but the recoil can be transferred to the scope attachment setup and it really has to be stout to survive in a lead sled. The larger scopes on these rifles add to the problem with their weight as well. I actually used a lead sled for this first time couple weeks ago. I am now into 3+ months post right shoulder complete rebuild surgery where my rotator 4 tendons were completely detached by a bone cyst and throw in the bicep tendon getting taken out plus bone spurs and labrum cleanup. Other than that it was in fine shape. So just to get some load work in on a short mag with a new Magpul stock. I happened to find a used lead sled at a swap meet for $35 which I couldn't pass up! I have to say I don't like how I have to sit behind it to shoot. Just don't like the setup but it certainly has saved my shoulder! I am in PT so I am very protective of the shoulder until I get past the 6-7 month timeline. By then the tendons should be fully healed and attached to the bone. The one thought I still believe is a lot of folks really need to review bench technique which can be huge improvement in felt recoil. Muddy [/QUOTE]
