The CALDWELL Lead Sled FCX Fire Control X-Treme (FCX) is a benchrest-style shooting platform that combines a recoil-reducing weight system with a precision control mechanism. It is designed to capture and transfer recoil energy into a weight tray while the Fire Control mechanism provides fine, joystick-style crosshair alignment. The rest offers a protective contoured rear support to preserve stock finish and includes a custom-fit unfilled weight bag for user-supplied shot or sand. Construction uses a cast aluminum frame with steel tube components for durability.
