I just got a Caldwell lead sled Solo for Christmas... anyone else use this to sight thier smoke poles in? It looks like it should be perfect.. mine has the strap to hold down the muzzle end of the rifle.

Nice portable bench. That looks like plastic composite deck boards on top to prevent weathering and slivers... Welded square steel tube for a sturdy frame and a little weight ...Wheels to roll it around... Great idea!Best way I've found to shoot or sight in any rifle....shooting off the shoulder!

I'm not sayin the sled is at all wrong, it's a good tool when used proper, it's just not the Alpha and Omega of accuracy.
Finally, someone found a use for a useless tool....
I never got the feeling you were “peeing” on my new gift.. lol, i got thick skin. I was simply asking if anyone else used the newer SOLO model to sight thier rifles in. I’m going to use it... but with my light loads and as suggested, maybe out a pillow case under the feet to allow it to slide a little.I fully agree! I felt bad to even respond to the OP, kinda Seemed like i was Peeing on a new Gift, That Was DEFINITELY not the intent! But I really feel it’s important to Share with others the Negative effects that Lead Sleds Can cause.
Lead Sleds Can stil Work AWESOME With the Feet sitting on a Towel, Pillow Case, Anything so they Can Slide under Recoil, They stil Help absorb Quite a Bit, Just use it as a Solid Platform to rest your Rifle in, You can stil Utilize the fine Adjustments etc. The Problem comes From Weighting them Down, therefore Restricting the Rifle from doing it’s natural Thing when fired
