[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1501537, member: 101859"] Throw the led sled in the dump. The front and rear bag setup you are using now will serve you better. We try to get the rest and bags heavy so they dont move on the bench. You need a smooth recoil. Those bags look like they have a rubberized material o them which is the opposite of what you want. Get leather or cordura bags, something that wont grab the stock. Round forends let the rifle twist and a flat 3" adapter plate will help. You will need to play with the position of the bags, with thin stocks I bring the front bag bag towards the action. Make sure the sling studs are removed. Benchrest shooters deal with many small details in the rifle and bag setup to achieve the accuracy they get, none of it is luck. You will figure it out, but Id start with some better equipment. The gucci adjustments let you aim the rifle without muscling it over, like you would in position type shooting. You still want a natural point of aim in the bags. At the least look up the term "bag Sqeezer" and read how those guys do it. [/QUOTE]
