[QUOTE="liltank, post: 434034, member: 13275"] I went out to do some load testing today and found a couple things with the rest. The first is that from prone it didn't work well for me. I guess I could have lowered it some, but I shot from the position it was in. My rifle recoiled as I would have hoped, but the butt pad was to high on my shoulder and I took a bit of a beating. The other problem I had was the forearm had to much room and the felt was to stiff to allow the rifle to settle in it. So my cousin stapled in some packing batting that he had from work. This worked like a charm. It is about 3/4" think and soft, but not to soft. According to Goldy Locks, it was just right. It created a tighter fit on the stock and made centering the bubble of the scope a lot easier. Despite the height issue, it was rock solid with a rear bag. I was able to level it up with the feat on fairly uneven ground. This is definitely going to help with my bench tuning of loads. Tank [/QUOTE]
