You should talk about the rear rest also. Many options and just as important as the front rest.

When I was attending matches at Williamsport the most common rest by far was the R.W. Hart pedestal rest. Just an observation. They are not the most expensive rest out there but are as close to indestructible as one can get. Thanks for the upload FC45LC!

Thank you for the very good video. I was looking at this rest hear in Canada and the price is much more from 307.99 to 199.99 but the lower priced ones are sold out. The gun shop I deal with could not even get me one. Had to settle for the The Rock. Jr witch cost me 74.75 out the door. But am not satisfied with it, but will have to do, until I can get the Rock BR competition one, hoping for around 200, or close. Your video on it is the best one I have seen, Thank You Very much.

You convinced me to get one of these. I've been getting poor groups with my Caldwell sand bags. I hope this takes as much of my human error out of the equation. Although at this point, I'm not sure if I'd rather the problem be me, the rifle, or the rest lol.

Vaughn Precision - At sale price of $99 (saving $54..!!), this is one fantastic deal at Midway. For that, it is a much higher value than others in the same range of features. If we are shooting custom rifles, heavier and more features at higher price points is in the game... Have a great day to ya, Steve

I love your videos, they have helped teach me to reload. I was interested in the Rock BR and after your review decided to buy it. Reading between the lines of your review it was clear that the front bag that comes with it was sub-standard and would need to be replaced, however I was surprised when it didn't even survive the first day at the range. The top popped open and all those little green and black pellets came spilling out. I've opened a support ticket with Caldwell to replace it, but so far I haven't heard anything back from them. Again reading between the lines I purchased a Protektor #2 medium front bag like the one you have in your video to replace the torn OEM bag. The fit is perfect, but there is no obvious way to use the attachments points on the bag. Did you simply lash it down the the rest with soft shoe laces? Did you wrap them up through the holes in the carriage assembly near the cradle ear plates or around the bottom of the rest itself? If the latter, does that inhibit the windage adjustment at all? Installation advise would be greatly appreciated. Again, love the channel FC45.

I had The Rock, not this BR model, but The Rock. I liked it but hated the front bag because it never kept my rifle solidly locked in place. I think that really affected my accuracy. I ended up going to the Tackdriver.

Up til now, I have used a canvas money bag full of blasting sand. You shoot a lot so who is better to ask? Do you use this rest or do you prefer something else?

Just starting to get into longer range rifle accuracy & have to ask what might seem to be a dumb question. But, I’m here to learn so I’ll take my licks. Why wouldn’t you adjust the wind age & elevation on your iron sights, scope or RDS when fine tuning your rifle? Obviously, in a competition ukulele have a rest which is very advantageous. But, when the rifle isn’t on a rest isn’t the accuracy of your rifle’s optics more critical? Thanks for the video. It was very informative. There’s one on sale right now for $99 & it seems like a quality product.

When you adjust windage on the rest you are only adjusting the rifle so it is aligned with where you are aiming... you aren't changing your sights which should be zero'd already. So just think of it as looking through your sights and your target point of aim is just off where you want it to be, use the windage on the rest to line it up perfect for your shot.

I have requested that info as well. I think it's soft shoe laces that go under the bottom of the cradle assembly and through the small opening in the cradle ear assembly on the outside of the rest, but I can't be certain. Page 6 photo 10 of the manual shows the two holes in the cradle from underneath. I think thats where the ran the laces through to lash them down. Btw, I heard people uses plastic ties but all the ones I have are too short. Good luck!

Excellent explanation of the shooting rest. Awesome piece of machinery that blows away my Caldwell Tack Driver. I have a question about the barrel thing at the end of the video...is it one of those barrel accurizing items that slides along the barrel? If so, how does it work? Do you slide it along the barrel and conduct test shots to find that sweet spot of harmonics? Always wondered how those work. Thank you.
@FortuneCookie45LC

Andy Prariedog - Yes, the Limbsaver Deresonator dampens barrel whip and that action is tuned by sliding it along the barrel. Handloaders can adjust the powder charge and seating depth to effectively do the same,. Benchrest shooters don't use barrel devices as a rule. What the Deresonator does is we find the sweet spot for a particular ammo load and then we're going to be using that load predominantly. Changing the position of the device changes point of impact at target and changing loads results in readjusting. Funny though is that on my 357 Maximum TC Encore, the thing has really helped accuracy while on my Savage 11VT, I've seen it help the ELD Match / 40.5 grains of 4064, but the results with the ELD X bullets sweet spot is still out there... Good shootin' to ya, FC Steve
