Hi all,
I'm in need of something for bench shooting. Two purposes.
1) It must allow me to absolutely determine scope zero and test ammo. In other words, since I'm not a great shot for these tests I want ME out of the equation.
2) Something to assist me in learning trigger control. In this case, I would still be a factor in the shot in that some control over point of impact is mine. But I would like assistance in support to improve trigger control while I improve rifle control.
I don't want to spend a fortune. I also don't want to buy this twice.
Thanks for tips on what and where to buy.,
James

On the left side of the page there is a listing for rifle rest manufacturers.
I bought a Sinclair All Purpose rest. I did not buy the windage top. I also bought a #18 Protektor rear bag. I am impressed but before I bought this setup I was using an Outers Varminter rest and that left a bit to be desired for pure accuracy testing. It was better than nothing.
I have heard the name Hart quite a few times come up as far as rests go. I think they are a bit cheaper than Sinclair.
I bought the Sinclair due to the fact I went to their showroom at Camp Perry and could see they make a quality product. My rest is very heavy, very sturdy and has adjustments out the wazoo. Took me a bit of time to adjust to it actually.
I would suggest you buy a Sinclair, I am very happy with mine but they are fairly expensive.
I paid $286 tax tags title for my setup.
