[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1800972, member: 2736"] Keep In mine the purpose of bench rest is to see what accuracy is possible with a very complicated system designed to remove anything that could/will detract from the goal of one hole (.000 group). It also is designed to take the human error out of the equation. The purpose of "ANY" kind of rest it to minimize the human factor. If you shot only Offhand (With no rest what so ever) you would probably not be able to consistently shoot 1 MOA groups. You also wouldn't be able to work up accuracy loads with and amount of success. Referring to the bench rest groups is just a way to show what 'can' be done considering the small differences in the total system that we have very little control over. We can try to eliminate these differences but normally we can only minimize them. The biggest factor is normally the human factor and try as we may, it will always be there and always has. The bench rest is the ultimate support for a rifle system and is a precision mounting for the barreled action that "Will return to the exact same location every time it is fired" if it a good system. The rest we use are much more portable and can some can be used in the field. The lead sled is a crude form of a bench rest and is not piratical so it is used at the range, Al tho I have heard of people taking it to there shooting/hunting house for making extra long shots. The point is that the post is about accuracy, and the method used to get the best accuracy. I don't shoot bench rest but i have learned many valuable things from bench rest shooters and bench rest gunsmiths that have greatly helped me but I am still not where I would like to be. :):):) J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
