Description

Caldwell Hydrosled Rest #1093568

The Caldwell HYDROSLED is today's leading rear shooting unit, eliminating 95% of felt recycling. The HYDROSLED can be used to supply your medium choice for an onboard reservoir. Heavy plumb bags or weights are no longer required to be carried. Just fill a reservoir of 2 gallons with water, sand or rocking, and you're good to go. The HYDROSLED can be adjusted to accommodate almost all rifles, firearms and rifles with detachable magazines. For precision adjustments, the shooting rest uses a proven rack and pinion height ram together with fine winding and lifting knobs. An advanced rear reverse pad protects the firearms and shooter and eliminates the muzzle spring on the front retention strap. Proper HYDROSLED by Caldwell is specifically designed to remove the variables you are mistaken for.

FAQs

Q: How does the Hydrosled reduce recoil?

Q: Can it be used with all rifle types?
A: It works with most rifles, though fit may vary depending on stock design and size.
Q: Is it portable?
A: When empty, it is relatively manageable. Once filled, it becomes significantly heavier and is best used in a fixed shooting position.
