With bags (sand or lead) over the legs will it help to reduce recoil like a lead sled?

Likely it would however I only use the bench for working on the weapons. Scopes, triggers, and sites. You could also fashion a clamp to your range bench to really secure it.

I have not used the CTK as a gun rest but I have seen video that shows it being used without bags. I am sure it would further reduce recoil if sandbags are used. The CTK is a well-designed and solid gun vise that also works as a shooting rest. The lead sled is a shooting rest. If you are looking to do maintenance, site scopes and on occasion use it as rest this is a great piece of equipment.

For any large magnum, not really. There is nothing stopping rearward motion other than friction on the stock. It is more of a stability platform.

Not what you feel from firing a round, but will securely stabilize weapon for accuracy, in my opinion.

I think you can put it where you want. If you use a recoil pad, you'll want space for that. With a wood stock you want to be far enough that you're not concerned with splitting.

Yes, that's how the gasses are vented up and to the sides (there are three of those "cut outs") which is how felt recoil and muzzle rise are reduced.

Not at all use sand bags or they make weights to put on the legs. Make your own with sand bags

I am new at this too, so don´t worry...Its perfect for that, I bought the ¨Everlast Double End Striking Bag¨ and its perfect for avoiding drilling the floor, i filled it with water and works great, you can also try sand. Hope the information helps, enjoy and stay active!

No,there would be a clearance issue with your magazine,you need the offset style sled/rest from Caldwell for clip fed semi's.

I'd add a carabiner to the handle so that you aren't tempted to use the blue triggers to hang stuff on. I mention this in case you don't feel the need to go up Fool's Hill alone...

You answered your own question! Should reduce felt recoil a bit but be aware that the cheap material they use as a buffer will mushroom and hang up on your spring after 3 boxes of ammo!!!!!

Well built,much like Lead Sled. I have had no trouble with recoil.Good shooting bench rest.

It helps with that for me. I suppose different people might have different results, but for me, yes, it helps. Mostly I use it as additional padding so if I load the bag up and it gets heavy, it doesn't hurt to carry. That's the main reason I have used the pads on all 3 of my Domke bags.

It's cheap and flimsy. I gave it away and got a lead sled. It will work, I used a 308 on it as well. It's worth what it cost i guess.

I would pick up the Hotronic Slide strap brackets. That puts the batteries on the side of your boots, rather than the back of them and prevents issues when you get on the chairlift.

no.. it only keeps your heavy bag from swinging too much. you still need to hang your bag.

I installed these just before the ground froze for winter. They took a little pressure to push in and seemed to back out slightly over the winter with the freeze/thaw cycle. To be honest, I'm nervous about removing my sand bags now that it's spring and the soil is loose. I'm not sure I trust them to hold. I bought two sets and have a 15' trampoline - two on every other leg.

I used it on SKS. Recoil is not nearly the same. Not good in sunny conditions at all. Holds the zero with my SKS and great for plunking.

The location of the pull handle is only a result of the length of the pull cord itself. It should be fine, and if it is too short you can put in a longer cord. The recoil itself doesn't affect the location of the pull handle.
