If you're looking for an actual benchrest I'd check out the Nota rest over at SPAW. Click on their Banner at the top, tell him I sent ya!

I'll go in the other direction. 75 and 100 yard bench rest with the dessert wind with the types of guns that will be being used is a different game than 25 meter with the types of rifles used for that. I would argue that one doesn't need such a fine tuned rest as the Nota. Not to say they're not great rests, but perhaps not the best, or most economical rest, for EBR.
Perhaps look at the Slingshot rest. Very reasonably priced and they work quite well. I have one and can vouch for that. Good to get rid of the cable though and put in a knob for direct windage adjustment. Here's the link: http://www.grizzly.com/products/Rest-Slingshot-Cast-Iron/BE1006
Now, having said all that, one thing the Nota has really got going for it is how quick you can move back to a scoring target from a sighter target once you've tested the wind. With non joystick rests, sometimes by the time you've gotten back to the scoring target, the wind has shifted!! But, we're talking about $1,500....
