[QUOTE="Rum River, post: 2923314, member: 16869"] This is very important. If a gun rest is weighted to the point a heavy recoiling rifle has trouble moving it - then yes - you are absolutely risking damage to the rifle. I agree. But I also have no problem using a properly weighted rest for a long afternoon of load development of let's say - a .300 Weatherby and a .338 Winchester magnum. I'm sure there are shooters out there that can take a hundred rounds of stout recoil while on sandbags and not have it affect their marksmanship - but I'm not one of them. [/QUOTE]
