Something portable, able to handle all my long guns from Rimfire, Deer Rifles and AR’s. The one I have now is cheap and I have to adjust every time I shoot any decent sized caliber.
Budget not a huge hang-up unless yall start putting out some really high-dollar precision set-ups. This would mainly be for dialing in a scope or some occasional longer range shooting.
I already have bags.

These are nice. Maybe swap out the rest bags. You can spend $2000 on a really nice one from 21st century but I don't think you're looking for that.

I've owned a half-dozen nice front rests that I used for benchrest competition, ammo load development, testing rimfire ammo, and group shooting.

This is a Speedy Ultra rest that is no longer made. Predecessor to the John Loh rest. Micro fine Windage and Elevation adjustable ... John rec ently passed away and I don't believe these rests are being made any longer ... price was around $850


Loh


Bald Eagle cast iron Slingshot with windage adjustable ... costs around $350.00. Original rest was made in the 90's. Owner passed away and sold rights to Grizzly that has these rests made in China now


Sinclair Competition front rest ... cost around $750.00 and sold through Brownells


If I were buying today (and $$ were no issue) , I'd probably purchase a used, like new SEB Mini-X for $1200.00




If interested, I can find you a nice, used rest ... may take a few weeks. Or you can order new as I'd be glad to help you and anyone else. FYI - I shoot free recoil as you need a solid rear benchrest bag for stability.

I have a caldwell Rock BR and it works well enough for the price for me. I've used it in a competition shoots.

The rear bags that Blaze recommended are good as well. I have the one in the middle. It's a Protecktor brand.

I’ve had a RockBR for years and while I don’t shoot competitively it has been more than sufficient for my needs - and they’re currently on sale at Midway

Thx for that, needed something simple and not a budget buster.
