Thanks for posting! After 18 monhts, my sled developed some wobble in the front mount. By watching your video, I realized the screw referenced at 10:45 in the center had come loose. I reseated it with some thread locker. Good video!
Excellent instructional tutorial. Video quality superb. Instructions were clear and concise. Demonstration of assembly was perfect and it saved me a lot of time! You are a great speaker and communicator! There was no useless chatter or unnecessary extraneous commenting that is so annoying with so many other RUclips presentations.
The instructions state to mount the wheel halfway on, but this fine gentleman bottomed the wheel and the rest to create enough clearance to install the bolts (course I didn't do this so it was a contortionist act to gets those bolts through then holes then I used the included wrench to press down on the bars to create enough pressure on the rubberized rest so the bolts would thread properly). This will save you a boatload of time, folks. Thank you sir.
I have lusted for a Lead Sled since the first I saw one some decades ago. Since I've gotten older, I am somewhat more sensitive to recovery times from shooting my big game rifles off the bench. Having purchased a leveling system for mounting telescopic sights and adjusting them all (I was surprised at the amount of cant I had introduced in the mounting process), I now need to resight my two 375 Holland and Hollands, a 7mm Remington Mag, and a 7mm-08 Rem lightweight rifle. I also purchased the new 250-grain Hornady 375 CX projectiles and will work up loads. I am sure my shoulder will appreciate the rest and the lack of pulling my hair out will be attributed to this video. Thanks!

Thanks for watching! If you have the wheel all the way to the bottom, the front mount raised up all the way, it gives you ample room to get in there and tighten the 4 screws. See starting at time mark 11:15. I made that same mistake myself during my first assembly while practicing for the video. 👍
Awesome. I think my lead sled was a return. No directions. All of the bolts and nuts just laying in the box. Your video was really helpful. I got it figured out. Thanks!
Congratulations for putting together an instructional video that is clear and easy to follow, especially for a mechanically challenged fellow like me. I have seen some comments about the strap that goes over the top of the rifle. Recoil is normal; a strap is not. Do you use the strap; Yes/No. If yes, why? If no why not.? Thank you
Thank you for watching! Thanks for the compliments! When you shoot a firearm, you get recoil. If the front end is not secured it can move, even if ever so slightly, and a small change can make a difference down range. The purpose of the sled is to zero in the firearm's sights. Usually you shoot 3 shots and review the pattern. Then adjust the sights. To keep accurate during that it is necessary to keep the firearm dead-on with no movement from recoil. This is to set accuracy of the firearm, not yours. Your's will come in practicing just using a support or sandbag of some kind. I hope that helps. Thanks! 👍
Thanks for watching! I don't imagine if it will affect anything other than making windage adjustments with left or righ hand. I'm a righ handed shooter so I like that knob on the left. Left hand shooters can reverse that. Should work. 👍
Does anyone know how a Bullpup shotgun or rifle would fit and if Magazine would be able to fit inside while mounted? Would love to see pictures if you have any. I have a Panzer BP-12 and would like to have an idea of it this will work for me

Sure wish I'd watched this video before I assembled mine, good tips!

Thanks for watching! Sounds you have quite the chore ahead of you with your rifles. Have fun! 👍

@@konradandgail Thanks for watching! That's a good one. I have to remember that one. Thanks! 👍
Thanks. I watched the video as I was putting it together
sure wished i had saw this before buying the bags...that plate weight is a GREAT idea
Thank you for a very instructive video. Great instructions. Don't need to read the manual now.
Glad it was helpful!
That was a very clear and excellent video making the assembly very simple. Thank you Gary. Great job.
Thank you!
i had a heck of a time getting those last 4 bolts tightened. the wheel was in my way.

Very informative video. My DFT2 is on its way. Thanks

Thanks for watching!
Good job explaining the Assemblement of this let's let tell me out a lot... Thumbs up😊
Thanks Gary! That was very helpful! Mine didn't come with directions so I appreciate the video! Good work, sir!
Very helpful, I had it wrong, then watched your video, helped a ton! Good tip about the weight from Wal Mart. Thank you!
Thank you!

Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you, @@GarysOutdoors
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome help video, just put mine together in a flash thanks to you!
Thanks! Glad it helped! 👍
BEST INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO OF ALL CLEAR CONCISE AND VERY CONICAL. LOL
Super help video, Gary!
Thank you!
Thank you for the instructions kind Sir!
Thank you!
Nicely Done Gary.
Thank you!
What happens if the tightening adjustment knob is on the right side instead of the left?
Thanks for watching! I don't imagine if it will affect anything other than making windage adjustments with left or righ hand. I'm a righ handed shooter so I like that knob on the left. Left hand shooters can reverse that. Should work. 👍
Perfect, thanks!
