Shooting Rest / Tripod

[Edsel]

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?

Look at Sinclair. I have used one almost the same from them

I looked, couldn't find it.

The closest match I got was this one.

The one I used had stock stop. They are very nice

Wish I could find an older one...

It looks good.

Could anyone confirm if it is indeed an older Sinclair in the first photo?

looks more like a vintage Wichita rest ....

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.

Thanks, guys.

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

These parts fit each other?

 

[Quarter Horse]

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.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated!
