[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 3033476, member: 51405"] There is just unavoidable slop with the rifle clinched in the vice. Everything is locked in much more securely with a rail. It's not a ton of slop, but when looking through the scope at something that is hundreds of yards away it feels like a lot. ETA - found [URL='https://snipercentral.com/hog-saddle-full-review/']this article[/URL] with this clip which describes it. How does it actually perform while firing? First and foremost we need to let everyone know that even when the rifle is on a camera tripod like this, you as a shooter will be no where near as accurate as compared to firing from the prone position. In fact, I would say even a prone unsupported position without a rest is going to be about as accurate. The rifle in the Hog Saddle and on the tripod is actually quite solid and stays in place, but the human body is not. If you don't touch the rifle, and there is no wind, it will be solid and not move, but as soon as any part of your body touches the rifle, even when its tightened down, it moves a considerable amount and this is not the most precise way to shoot. But you can get better with practice and with the aid of a sling and good technique. [/QUOTE]
