		<title>eberlestock J104 pack</title>
		<link>http://calivc.com/forums/eberlestock-J104-pack-t6842.html</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I researched several different hunting packs before this season.  I wanted a pack that I could use for a 2 or 3 night spike camp, and also hall meat out with when my hunt was done.  The eberlestock looked like a good fit, but I was very dissapointed!!  <br /><br />1)The pack did not carry a load very well at all (45 lbs).  Most of the wieght was on my shoulders and the hip belt gave very little support.  <br /><br />2)I also purchased the duffle sack to use while I was packing in...but if the main compartment of the pack is full, the straps are not big enough to secure the duffle to the pack!!  I do like the duffle sack and will use it for store other gear.<br /><br />3)  The gun scabbard hung too low and hit me in the back of my knee.<br /><br />Has anybody else had these problems?]]></description>

		<title>Caldwell Fire Control Front Rest . . .</title>
		<link>http://calivc.com/forums/Caldwell-Fire-Control-Front-Rest-t6298.html</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The UPS guy dropped an Easter Egg on my front porch today in the form of a Caldwell Fire Control front rest.  Once you get on paper a "joy stick" gives you five inches of E/W adjustment.  Got it from Midway USA at a sale price, but it ain't cheap.  I'll try it Sunday and get back.<br /><br />Woodog]]></description>

		<title>Lead Sled review</title>
		<link>http://calivc.com/forums/Lead-Sled-review-t3861.html</link>
		<description><![CDATA[So...I sold a couple of Final Approach layout blinds and was flush with bucks so I thought I'd pick up one of the Lead Sleds for super fine tuning sighting in the rifles. I went to Sportsman's Warehouse and picked one up yesterday. $199.99. It's the fancy one with the Caldwell bench rest components. They went through a lot of trouble making the front end of the thing solid but in the back there's an adjustment for moving the back end up or down and it's a sloppy fit making it extremely difficult to hold the crosshairs on target. Frankly, it's not worth the extra money. <br /><br />The Lead Sled is supposed to make sighting in a high powered rifle in such a way that the recoil is absorbed by the device. I'm sure it works fine for that but what good is it if you can't keep it on target? I have an expensive Caldwell bench rest and it's pretty good if you have a bench rest rifle but a standard sporter rifle with a rounded forearm rolls around making it difficult to use. The Lead Sled has a narrower bag on the front so I'm going to use it for sighting in my centerfire 22's and use the Lead Sled for working up loads and sighting in my 7mm Remington mag. I'm also going to see about what I can do to make the back adjustment on the device more solid.]]></description>
