Caldwell Lead Sled 3

Whether you’re zeroing your new scope or trying to find the best load for your rifle, there are plenty of applications where removing as much of the human element as possible from a shot group is beneficial, and recoil-reducing rests like the Lead Sled 3 from Caldwell are a great way to do so.

Touting up to a 95-percent reduction in felt recoil thanks to a 0.75" soft rubber pad in the rear cradle and an adjustable weight tray compatible with either bar bell weights or weighted sand bags, the Lead Sled 3 also features both front and rear elevation adjustment and non-marring surfaces to protect your gun’s finish.

MSRP for the Caldwell Lead Sled 3 is $195. For more information, visit caldwellshooting.com.
