I guess there's "removing yourself" and then there's really removing yourself, huh? Point taken, however, and I can appreciate it.Mistered wrote:LOL !

Regardless what NCG means is ensuring you remove all movement variables and ensure a solid and consistent rest for the rifle.
I have never actually owned a formal rest but have always had sandbags and between them and some heavy towels can always configure a pretty solid rest.
Lever action rifles do not seem to have been designed with benchrest shooting as part of their use and it can sometimes be a challenge to get a good, solid (and comfortable) rest with them.
I'll take my next step(s) and report back, but I'll try to limit my involvement...
