So, I've kind of been wanting to try wanting to try something different as far as a rifle rest when shooting. Right now my options are:
Caldwell Matrix rest
Caldwell Deadshot front and rear bags
Bipod w/ the Caldwell rear bag
I'm mainly tossing around getting something like a Lead Sled Solo as a rest or a BOG Fieldpod since the heaviest caliber I shoot is 308. My biggest frustration with the Matrix is it's hard to be precise with vertical adjustment, side to side adjustment is non existent aside from moving the rest itself, and it requires a table. The table thing is just more of an annoyance with having to move the picnic table around at my in-laws when we shoot.
I feel like an actual lead sled would solve 2 out of 3 of my annoyances (would still require a table) as would the Fieldpod (easier side to side adjustment and no table needed, but still not the finest vertical adjustment). The Fieldpod would also be useful with coyote hunting, I already have a Deathgrip tripod but having a Fieldpod would make life easier on whoever I take with me too. I'm not looking for benchrest type accuracy, just something to make zeroing a little easier and shooting just a little more convenient.
Mainly just looking for everyone's experience with the options out there to help with shooting stability.
