Re: who makes a good front rest
42769vette,
Take a look at what we have here Precision Rifle Solutions the small tripod with a SSP-1 should work like a champ for you off the bench or prone. If you have any questions do not hesitate to give me a call 281-541-1549 or drop me an email to [email protected]
Take care,
Danel

+1 for Danel's lil' tripod and cradle. Its light weight and it is a very stable shooting platform. I have used mine from the bench or prone.

Re: who makes a good front rest
What are your needs? If you are going to compete in benchrest you need a really good front rest. If you are just working up loads a sandbag would be fine. The best on the market as far as I'm concerned are the SEB, Farley, and JJ Industries Ultra Front Rest. There are a lot of rests that are more than adequate for most uses. Caldwell makes inexpensive rests that will work just fine for most peoples needs. Your needs determine which would be best for you. For the middle of the road I would go with either Sinclair or Hart.

Re: who makes a good front rest

Re: who makes a good front rest
Since you are planning to use it for competition I recommend more than an entry level rest. Therefore I would disregard then cheap stuff like the Caldwells. For F Class I do not believe there is any real benefit in a coaxial rest. In fact it can be a liability. Since you have a single point of aim I believe stability is the primary asset. A coaxial rest allows rapid change of aim point but it also allows rapid inadvertent change in aim point. For F Class my vote goes for stability over mobility. Because of this, I have chosen to go the non-coaxial route for F class competition. I believe that a Sinclair or Hart rest will work just as well as any for F Class. I do believe a windage adjustable top is helpful and would recommend one. If you want to spend more and "get the best" I believe the JJ Industries Ultra Front Rest can't be beat. I also believe that you can shoot just as good scores with the Sinclair or Hart rests.

Re: who makes a good front rest
Nope not legal. The front and back support have to be separate.
42769vette, are you shooting F/TR or F Open? I assume F/Open since you're looking for a front rest. What chambering? I shoot both. I have a 260 built on a Savage target action I built but have been able to shoot yet due to surgery. I have a Barnard based 6.5x47L coming. I have both a Seb and a JJ Industries Ultra Front Rest. I use the Seb for VFS benchrest but prefer the JJ for F Class. I believe the coaxial rest is a liability for F Class.

Bob Pastor makes a phenomenal rest in addition to ones already mentioned. Google "the viper rest". Bob is one of the good guys.
