Solid Platform

by KurtisH, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on April 13, 2025

I recently purchased the Lead Sled FCX Rest for stability during load development. Some assembly needed but simple and straight forward. The platform is very stable and the adjustments hold very well. Used with several different rifles from 18-26" barrel lengths. I would purchase again.

Caldwell FCX is the best!!

by Paul Bellon, Verified Owner from LA, United States Written on December 20, 2024

I have a gun shop in south Louisiana. I shoot a lot of rifles after mounting scopes and or new sights. I have a Caldwell lead sled, older model. While I was in Galveston a couple weeks ago I saw the FCX series. Read reviews on it and ordered one. This is the ticket, I set this thing up and shot 338 Lapua magnums down to .22 magnums. Rock solid sled. I use a trigger pull device after the gun is in the sled, no human error, and squeeze the trigger with the device. It will put bullet holes in bullet holes. I have used it against my shoulder and there is minimal felt recoil. I just wish I had this 20 years ago.

Pros:

No felt recoil
, easy assembly.

Cons:

Non a all-around around great product

Best Used for:

For me, sighting in customer scopes.

Fcx lead sled

by Farmer, Verified Owner from NY, United States Written on March 27, 2018

Awesome product.The Fire Control FCX combines the two most innovative rest technologies into the industries most advanced shooting platform. By incorporating the recoil reduction benefits of the Lead Sled system along with the ground breaking performance of the Fire Control mechanism, ultimate accuracy and comfort come together in one rest.

Lead Sled recoil reduction works by capturing and efficiently transferring recoil energy from any rifle or shotgun through the frame system to the weights and weight tray. Effectively eliminating up to 95% of felt recoil not only makes shooting more enjoyable but it enhances accuracy by preventing flinching and promoting smooth trigger pulls

Pros:

Precision adjustments

Cons:

None

Best Used for:

sighting in

Best Lead sled out there!

by dart451, Verified Owner from NM, United States Written on December 20, 2017

Purchased this leadsled recently and I was totally surprised at how good it is. It is heavy enough without the sand bag but not too heavy you can carry it around. It gives you precise adjustments for sighting in your rifle that's way better than any other lead sled I've used

Best Shooting Rest

by Ray, Verified Owner from NY, United States Written on December 1, 2016

Absolutely love this rest. Micro hand adjustments make zeroing your rifle easy. The weigh of the sled combined recoil reducer tamed my 30-06 with 180 grain ammo. Don't hesitate to buy this great product if you can find a deal!

The perfect product if you really want to fine tune a zero !

by Capt. Doug, from GA, United States Written on July 4, 2016

This model of Caldwell lead sled is perfect for fine tuning a zero for any rifle. If you have had trouble fitting your rifles with 20 round mags or pistol grips this sled is for you. I also highly recommend this for long range shooting.

Lead Sled FCX

by SEB, from CA, United States Written on April 24, 2016

I've used this fire control tool for all my bolt weapons and it was extremely useful for fast, precise crosshairs alignment for my Christensen Arms 300wm. The carbon fiber wrapped barrel and and stock fit extremely well on the rack.
Along with the included weight bag, I purchased a 25lbs heavy canvas tripod bag from the local camera shop to reduce the recoil of the sled.

All the guys at the range got a kick out of this piece of equipment. They used it to their total satisfaction and we're talking about old timers with plenty of real time experience.

It's my opinion that this tool delivers maximum accuracy potential. Pay a little more and buy this upgraded version.

Pros:

Easy to assemble/install; easy to activate under pressure;
Reduces recoil

Cons:

None

Best Used for:

rangework

Solid for AR

by Race, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on September 8, 2015

Solid rest for AR's with 30 rd mag. The Micro adjustment arm thingy is a little cheesey. You can actually lock that down and remove the arm completely if it becomes a nuisance. Elevation adjustments are quick and simple. Lead prices being what they are, I use two 40# dumbbells and the thing doesn't budge. Good adjustment range for elevation . Overall, I'd buy it again.

Pros:

Solidly built

Cons:

Micro adjustment arm
