No, avoid that type of rest. It is far from steady. You want a separate front and rear that will add lots of stability. A good front rest will be very heavy. Here is an example I picked up used for less than $100 that will work for almost every rifle I have,

I just use 2 sandbags filled with sand. Cheap, easy, and simple. Total cost was probably 25 cents for 4 bags (I double bagged them). In fact I leave them at the range and it seems like I'm the only one who ever uses them LOL. Been there over a year too.

I like the Lg. Bulls Bag, great for sighting in - there are better supports for active shooting like listed above.

Not for everyone but a Harris Bi-Pod [or knockoff] with or without a rear bag can work well.
I have Caldwell Rock/rear bag, Caldwell Fire Control, Dog Gone Good bull bag[s] and Harris,Caldwell and Shooters Ridge bi-pods. Returning to the same battery position every time is what helps my paper punching most but I'm just an old trigger puller. |

Sorry to hijack your thread OP, but I figured it'd be better to ask here rather than start a new thread.
What would be the best type of rest/bags under $40 to simply get carbines' irons and red dots zeroed? I saw a set of suade bags at a local shop for only $35 but didn't think they were tall enough for an AR. Links would be appreciated and I'm definitely open to a DIY thing! |
