Caldwell Fire control front Rest for BR

[jeffhernandez]

Anybody has had experience on this shooting rest? How stable and any long term user review?

Planning to use it for 25m, 50m, 75 yds and 100 yds BR because seems cheaper and easier to transport than the heavy Sinclair I currently have.

Thanks, Jeff.

I don't have any experience on the rest you mentioned, but weight is your friend in front rests if you want small groups. My guess is your groups may suffer if you get a lighter rest. I too have a Sinclair and it is the lightest rest i would use personally. I don't see any of our top shooters (I'm not there yet) using Sinclairs or similar light rests. Most are using SEB or Randolph.

P.S. I would be leery of the one small diameter post supporting the cradle and your rifle our so far with no additional support. It may work fine, I would want to try one before I spent any money on one. I think there would be an opportunity for vibration or unwanted movement.

Thx

Thank you for your inputs, all are completely valid.

I just wanted something more friendly to travel from abroad to the US for the events and still works more or less acceptable



Thanks again,

Jeff.

P.S. You could always go old school and travel with the Caldwell Tack Driver and rear rest unfilled and then fill with rice or something when you get to where you are going! Almost as good as a mechanical rest, just takes a little longer to position properly for your shot. Just throwing that out there. You might play with a couple of the fillable bags at home to see how the pan out.

Thx
