CALDWELL LEAD SLED SOLO 2 W/WEIGHT
The Caldwell Lead Sled Solo 2 is a heavy-duty shooting rest designed to absorb recoil and stabilize your rifle during extended range sessions and precision shooting. Built with a steel frame and finished in green, this rest combines rigid support with customizable weight capacity to dial in the stability you need for accurate shot placement. Whether you're zeroing a hunting rifle, working up handloads, or practicing long-range groups, the Lead Sled Solo 2 reduces felt recoil by up to 85% so you can focus on your sight picture instead of flinching.
The adjustable front rest features a center pivot for quick elevation changes, letting you dial in your vertical without breaking down the rig. A rear support pad absorbs shock and protects your firearm's stock from the wear that comes with thousands of rounds downrange. The offset frame design accommodates detachable magazine and lever-action firearms, making it versatile enough for most common hunting and target rifles. At 26 inches tall, the rest sits at a comfortable working height for prone and bench shooting positions.
The included weight reservoir holds up to 1.6 gallons of lead shot, sand, gravel, or water—whatever material you have on hand to dial in recoil suppression to your liking. The wide-mouth opening makes filling quick and mess-free, and the 600D Cordura nylon bladder with waterproof lining ensures the tray survives years of range trips in any weather. The Lead Sled Solo 2 is the kind of workhorse gear that pays for itself in reduced shooter fatigue and improved groups during load development and long practice sessions.
