I use it to get on paper as a temporary zero, then transition to a shoulder fired zero. I don't really use one for anything other than that.

I used to use one for working up loads for 8x57, 30-06, 300WM, .54 slug loads. They really make a difference when you are putting a lot of lead downrange at one sitting.

I had one used it at the range once and hated it . It got put on the bench and used for cleaning and mounting scopes and such , sold it a few weeks ago .
Another reason I stopped using it was I have seen them crack stocks .

I use the lead sled DFT. It’s not bad for dialing in scopes.

Never used one. Have mounted at least 15 scopes just fine without one. I would like a benchtop rifle holder thing for cleaning, or for holding rifles when mounting scopes, but I'm too... cheap(?) to buy one. https://www.amazon.com/Tipton-181181.../dp/B001AT3SCC

I used mine today and had a hard time getting a sight picture with the 30-06. I don't really like the stock but it's got replaceable parts so you can make it higher or lower. I decided not to use weights with it because people say that you should have recoil for the rifle to fire correctly.
I may sell it cause I really like to use just a sandbag on top of my little shooting table. The Magpul stock really didn't help my shooting with the 30-06. I'm starting to think it may be the cheap scope the gun came with. I'll put on a better scope and try that. If I can't get the 30-06 to shoot better I'll get a short action trigger guard and try it with my 308. If all else fails I'll get my money back and just use the ADL as it is. |
