Rifle Rests- Which ones do you own? Pics?

[Shutupuface]

Please give your opinions on the rifle rests that you use and pictures if you have them.

This is the only rifle-rest I own. I'm about to buy another as a backup.

Portable, light, cheap, sturdy, ya can't go wrong with this one for a bench-rest or prone tripod.

For me at least, completely replaces the need to use sandbags and your hand for "artillery hold" shooting.

The head also screws off and fits a standard camera tripod, and can be a camera mount itself too.

I recently bought a Caldwell bench/seat combo (Steady Table Lite, I believe was the name) that is nice and light for transport but it doesn't have a rest. Seat and table together as a unit is nice for field use and I use a bag on that table. The Hyskore shooting table and optional rest I bought quite a while ago is a bit heavier and doesn't have an attached seat but the rest has dual height adjustments, one side lever cogged arrangement to elevate the front of the rifle and a threaded rest on the rear to fine tune height, and the entire rest unit pivots on a front shaft to allow windage movement. It works very well and is very stable for shooting once set up. The Hyskore table apparently is no longer available and I'm not sure about the rest but it was designed for use with that table. Highly recommended if anyone runs across one but the Caldwell is nice too.

Caldwell. So far no complaints and works well for me.

what do you plan on using it for, benchrest....... hunting...... both?

It might also make a difference how serious you are going to be.

I have a JJ-Industries rest for benchrest, a Caldwell RockRest for playing around, a few sand bags for spur of the moment shooting and a few bipods for hunting

Mark,

Thanks, for your response. Probably more for bench. But, I may get out in the woods on occasion. 

Best regards 

Rob

I’m pretty old school with my bench setup.

Ron,

Thanks, for sharing! Is that a Caldwell? What type of scope are you using? Thanks for the info!

Best regards

I made my own for about $10. Its hideous but it works and the price was right. I have a bunch of super light weight camera tripods on hand though. It is also mounted to a nice manfrotto ball head so fully adjustable in any way

Nick,

Thanks a lot for your response and your pictures. Are those a couple of Weihrauch rifles I see? What models? The blue one is beautiful! 

Best regards,

Rob

Hey Rob - the scope is an Athlon Argos 6-24x50.

Thanks, Ron

Caldwell Rock Jr...no rear bag. I use my off arm to circle back and support/adjust the butt.

 

[Shutupuface]

Yarddog,

Thank you for you response. How do you like your Caldwell? Which model do you own/prefer? Thanks for the information!

Best regards,

Rob

Caldwell tackdriver bag, UTG monopod, or a rolled up towel.

Sorry for the hijack....

Caldwell. So far no complaints and works well for me.

Scp52, how is that table? Do the legs lock/snap into position? Do they wobble? My current "table" wobbles all over the place. Need to get something better.

I’m pretty old school with my bench setup.

ronmcc4, what rear bag is that? And is that your table too? Is that simply a piece of plywood clamped in a black and decker work table?

 

[Shutupuface]

Hi! Which Caldwell table do you have? Do you have pics?

Best regards,

Rob
