rifle rest

[trophyhunter]

Im looking for a good rifle rest  that is not to high in price. I know you get what you pay for but can anyone recommend a rest that is good.

Check out Midway for the Caldwell. I got mine for $129 on sale. Right now it is $169.99. It is the best one for the money. You will have to get a rear bag & another front leather bag. Look at the different ones they have and order them all at once if you can. I personally think it is as good as the $400 rests.

If you're looking for a complete one piece shooting rest, take a look at the Caldwell Lead Sled.

Thats what I use. Rest itself is about 15 pounds, and the gun sits in it, so it reduces recoil considerably shoulderwise. Up to four 25lb bags of lead shot can be added to the tray, to reduce recoil even more. It's about the steadiest rest I've ever seen or used. Some people say that because it's so heavy, it's hard on scopes and stocks, but I've experienced no problems. I did however, line the inside of the rear stock rest with styrofoam type padding, I just felt it was a needed improvement. The rest is completely adjustable front & rear, and is about as close to a machine rest as you'll get as far as steadiness is concerned.
