[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1823963, member: 2736"] I have used mine for many years and never had an issue with stock breakage but I don.t add any weight to mine because it already weighs over 20 pounds and extra weight is not needed. It will move slightly but the rifle remains in the same position in the sled as it was, for good repeat ability. I have added weights for slow motion Video's to get more stable Video, but these were done while testing Muzzle brake designs that reduced recoil. The only time I have ever seen a stock break, was while shooting a .50 caliber line throwing gun using a 16 oz projectile . We always placed the but plate on a life preserver and held it in place with our knee. some how the but stock slipped off the life preserver and made contact with the deck about the time it fired. The stock didn't survive, :mad: but the sailor did. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
