[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 71815, member: 2852"] OK forkie, as promised, here is the Mother of all Rests! This is a side shot of the rest. It has two front positions for the pedestal top. ONe for the MOAG and one closer for every other gun! It can be raised with coarse adjustments in the front, fine in the rear, and super coarse by lifting the entire middle bar and pushing a rest pin through several holes in the center bar allowing it to hold a rifle rock steady at 45 degrees or more! Oh, and yes, that is a **** 50 bmg behind the MOAG but the MOAG shot circles around it at 900 yards. Maybe the 50 needs one of these rests!
