Need advice on purchasing front rifle rest

[ballistic1]

Hello All,

I am in search of purchasing a quality front rest for bench shooting. Have grown tired of the sandbags, and would like input from those of you who have preference of certain brand/style.

Thus far, I have been looking in the $300-400 range, but I see that the cost of these touches $1000 and up.

I would appreciate some direction on what to get..

Thanks.

Probably not exactly what you mean, but here is a suggestion.

I chose this over traditional bench rest because of portability for field/hunting use.

Which model did you decide on, and how does it perform?

I think the Caldwell BR front rest is very good for the money, here is a link at Midway USA.

I would purchase the cheaper Caldwell rest, (http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=412484) and get the Shadetree rest top if I were going to shoot Fclass due to the need for and ease of coaxial adjustment. If not, I doubt you would shoot any better using just the Caldwell BR rest.

The Sinclair All Purpose rest is also a good rest for the money. Here is a link to them.

I like the look of this over the typical Bench Rest. Seems like this would be easier to move around .

Thanks for the link
