I'm not sure if I saved this picture from this Forum or elsewhere.

What I'm interested in is the shooting rest in this picture - it's simple and minimalist.

Some have suggested that it's an older - model Sinclair, and I would tend to agree.

What make / model is it?

Horstie is correct. It is a vintage Wichita rest, this is the current data Product Descriptions. If you find one it will be marked BR-1000-1 on one leg, Wichita Kansas on another and Wichita Engineering Supply on the remaining leg. I don't know when the changes took place but I purchased mine about thirty-five years ago.
 
looks more like a vintage Wichita rest ....

Thanks, guys.

The six - spoke "wheel" looks like it came from a Sinclair rest...

These parts fit each other?
 
The six spoke wheels are original to the Wichita rests. I don't think there is interchangeability. The main threaded shaft on the Wichita looks much larger. That could be from the perspective of the pictures but I don't think so.
