I appreciate your concern for my safety. Hopefully after you read this that concern will not be as intense for you. I made my own recoil sled that clamps unto the stock near the recoil pad and the forearm of the stock rest on a "Y" that is adjustable up and down. The forearm is held down with a bungy cord attached to the sling bracket near end of stock. This recoil sled is bolted to a 3/8" thick steel table. The trigger is activated by a small syringe connected to a larger syringe by 1/8" hose. I do not touch the rifle at all upon discharge. I actually duck under the steel table for safety. If the rifle were to blow up, i feel much more protected with 3/8" steel plate between me and flying pieces of metal and high pressure hot gases. Plus the zero on bullseye is very stable and consistent. Call me a sissy all you want, however i am in my 60s and have shoulder issues. enough said. Now if I want to blow this gun up with out any regard to the financial cost involved, i have the freedom to choose that option.
Wouldn’t it be more enjoyable to not shoot loads that your so scared to shoot that you duck under a table to shoot! To each his own but that doesn’t sound fun at all.
