Thanks , i was referring to a rest that is built around the action ,trigger ,and barrel assembly where human interaction is at a minimum while the shot is fired . the rest is bolted or weighted to the platform

I think what you are referring to is a rail-gun. I have never seen one that was mass produced, so you would probably have to contact a 'smith to get a quote on building one. I don't know of any competition format that allows the gun or rest to be attached to the bench, but rail guns I have seen typically have very heavy bases.Thanks , i was referring to a rest that is built around the action ,trigger ,and barrel assembly where human interaction is at a minimum while the shot is fired . the rest is bolted or weighted to the platform
AJT, sorry man. I mean no disrespect to you. I’m simply springboarding off your ‘often heard’ name change recommendation by others. I tried to hold my tongue but...So how about you shoot Supreme Benchrest or Ultimate Benchrest or something more clever, this way there would be no confusion into what event we are really taking about.
I agree that you should not change the name of what you define as Benchrest. Given that, what should we call an event that is shot from a bench and rest that does not fit your definition of Benchrest? I do not think we should have to just deny that it exists. If we knew what the elites want us to call it, maybe we could use that term without hurting their feelings. After all, this whole discussion seems to be about someone's "woke" feelings.Now... we should consider changing the word “Benchrest”? To accommodate those that can’t accept “no”. Is this another example of America’s current all inclusive ‘woke’ thinking? One card circus-like events are a mockery of long held traditional Benchrest events. It's extremely obvious compared to the current WRABF and the contents of this entire thread.
I don’t know about others but I’m about out of popcornWow, this is what I get for going fishing out of WiFi range for a few days.
Wow, someone complained to the admins about this thread?
Wow, heated discussions over OPs positive experience shooting a precision instrument leading to AG advancements?
Does daystate & others know electric triggers should not be allowed?
I often wonder why appropriating the name “Benchrest” is so dog-gone important.
Wasn’t he the Fun President?To show respectfulness, it's up the the new guys to make up the new word to call it.

I'm surprised this post wasn't removed....If I remember correctly, from my previous chastisedes, rule 10 says NOTHING POLITICAL...no matter how factual it is. Someone's feeling is going to be hurt and that must not happen. EVERYBODY is a winner in the world of rainbows and unicorns.Yeah Mike. Like Tim said, “best salesman ever! “ View attachment 378299
