[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 556325, member: 5302"] Here's a link to pictures of a machine rest used by a few of the high power rifle competitive shooters. [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/12787226@N00/sets/72157594303093714/]Rifle Machine Rest - a set on Flickr[/url] This one belongs to David Tubb and both he and his dad, George, used it extensively to test rifles for accuracy without human intervention. A Tubb 2000's the one pictured but rifles with wood stocks mount the same way. Fore end's clamped in the front jaws and the butt stock has escucheons for the cross bolts to clamp into. The top carriage weighs about 30 pounds and the base about the same. Mid Tompkins has used his machine rest of the same design to shoot some 600 yard 10-shot groups back in the '70's that are smaller than current benchrest records. A friend of mine has one made from the same plans and he fired 57 shots from the same .308 Win. case all into a .57-shot group at 100 yards measuring .256 center to center (who says you can't reload the same case more than 5 or 6 times?).
