Shooting rest

[Terry Balding]

Sinclair Benchrest rest or Seb Max in front and a bag that fits the rear of the stock. I have used these in short range, 600 yard, 1000 yard Benchrest and F Class.

I've been through a few different rests over the past couple years. Heavy rifles are pretty easy to shoot off of any of them....including a bipod, but for lightweight hunting the best thing I have found is a bulls bag with a rear bag. I made a wooden platform to raise the bulls bag up to the height I want it.

I have had several set ups and the Sinclair f class gen. 3 bipod with a lead shot filled bunny rabbit rear bag has worked the best. the bipod has cant adjustment plus a fine elevation knob. really helps to reaquire the target

What do you all shoot off if when shooting for groups, load development? Trying to get ideas. I personally do not like lead sleads but like to get as steady as possible during load development.

What he said.

 

[sturner]

Never use the sled

 

[Terry Balding]

Agreed

Caldwell Rock BR with Protektor bags. Works great.

For use in the field, my wife still sews some sand bags out of worn-out blue-jean legs. My shooting benches (and lunch tables) for the varmint field are old three-legged ironing boards, with sand-hammocks hung under them for increased stability. (The more weight you hang, the more stable they get.) A webbed lawn chair works just about right for a seat. All the money saved goes to powder and bullets, barrels, gas and glass.

I'd be curious to know what's at the other end besides your shoulder.

was you asking me?

I use a bulls bag as well with a rear bag, have a couple different ones for different guns. I too have a wooden box to raise my bull bag 3-3 1/2". Down side is it's heavy. I can drive right up to my bench though so it isn't that bad. I also have 1/8" rubber gasket material cut just a little bigger than my wooden box for shims if you will. I am more comfortable behind the bull bag than I am a front rest myself.

For field use I have homeade bags with sand or rice mostly, or shoot off a pack.

I just got a Caldwell tack driver that Ill be using as a front rest and then a rear v rest to go along with it. Haven't tried it yet but I think it's going to be very stable. We will see
