Best Rifle Rest out there. I found out there is a reason why fifty-caliber shooters use this one at 1000 yards, and you don't see the joystick rests. This one holds and is accurate. Great video. Especially for guns that kick and reach out past 300 or 600 yards. The original still seems to knock it out of the park.
Solid sturdy rest that will last a lifetime and then some. I have a older gen Sinclair heavy International rest similar is design that has served well. I am looking at the newer rests designs with a joystick simply for convenience and reducing time between shots if the wind is fickle. Great channel!
I only recently looked at Sinclair rests. The BR model (which I believe is the same as the Heavy International) looks very good. Joystick rests seem to have much to offer as you mentioned. Seems the SEB Mini-X and other joystick clones are quite popular with F-Class shooting. SEB Rests USA web site has photos of a joystick prototype for rimfire, the AR250 that looks like it will be very well engineered.
Those are really nice rests; also rather expensive. I've considered one but my Bald Eagle cast iron "slingshot" model works pretty well and has all the functions..
Hello and best wishes for this new year. I would like to know your opinion about the quality of the Caldwell rock br you use in some of your videos for which I thank you. The other front rest are out of my budget or possibly if you can guide me in choosing to practice rimfire with an Anschutz match 54. Or the front rest Protektor, or even the front bag of the same brand??? Thank you for your feedback. Best regards
I like the Caldwell Rock BR very much. For the price they are very well made, strong, sturdy and feature filled. The 'windage' adjustment is a definite plus. There some techniques for better more functional use, one or two which are shown on this TH-cam video: 'CZ 457 Varmint with Attention To Front and Rear Rest Utilizing CCI Standard Velocity'. To realize the most from your front rest, high quality bag and rear rest need to be in the budget. Look at the Protektor website. If your Anschutz Match 54 has a 3" fore end, replace the Caldwell front bag with a Protekto 3" front bag. If the fore end is not the 3" type, pick a Protektor front leather bag that most closely fits your stock. Be very careful about this, the front fore end should fit the front bag snuggly. For the rear rest, again Protektor. If you will be shooting off a bench with a front rest, a quality purpose rear rest will serve you well. My opinion: From the Protektor website; Flat Top Dr. Rear Benchrest/Long Range Bag with Carry Handle. Ear spacing 3/4", Mid Leather or Mid Slick Silver, Regular sand. This can be adjusted for 'sand' firmness after you have had experience with it, if needed in the future. So the cost of the rear rest, and front bag will surpass the cost of the Caldwell Rock BR. However, you will gain the most value of all the components and once you experience the stability you will be pleased. My opinion.............. 🧐
@@22rimfireultra67 Thanks for your reply, Sir. Actually, I have the Randolph and a Ransom Rear rest like the one Eli uses at dayattherange. I was just curious what your thoughts were on each and agree with you on them. It's rare to see someone with a Randolph or Ransom rest here on TH-cam so it's cool to see someone else who has them. 👍
Wonderfully done, never understood the hype on these rest until this video. If your into precision shooting then I understand the rest. But this old hillbilly usually shoots with elbows on table or leaning against a tree.
It's like playing a musical instrument. The low end can make beautiful sound, the high end can make beautiful sound. It's the fine tuning, craftsmanship and playability that make a standout obvious. Having said that, leaning against a tree or elbows on a table and dotting your POA offers a great satisfaction! 😁
Nice rest i am glad i went the same route
Yes, very fine. It should be mentioned for any new buyers, get the 'windage' piece if target shooting is planned ! 🙂

Day at the range will be proud of you.

Many nice rests out there! I've always like the Bald Eagle Slingshot! But every time I got serious about buying one, they were not available.

Thank you very much for your answer and your advice. I will not fail to keep you informed. In any case my Anschutz digests well the Rws rifle match
Ransom or Randolph, which one do you prefer?
They are both precision, finely engineered instruments. Slightly different settings and circumstances find me bringing out one over the other.

$675
In this case Quality = Expensive.
Pickup a bipod a lot quicker
No doubt. I have used bipods in the past, I never got comfortable with them 🤔.
