The Caldwell Lead Sled Fire Control X-Treme (brand part no. 820444) combines two of Caldwell’s most advanced rest technologies into one platform. Lead Sled recoil reduction captures and transfers recoil energy through the frame system into the weights and weight tray, cutting up to 95% of felt recoil so a shooter can relax into the trigger instead of flinching. The Fire Control mechanism adds a joystick-style control arm that aligns the crosshairs precisely in any direction and holds that exact position once released, instead of the pushing, pulling, or leaning required by conventional rests. The rest’s adjustable length and front cradle height accommodate nearly any rifle, shotgun, or muzzleloader, and a custom-fit, unfilled weight bag is included — just add lead shot or sand.
