Reasonably priced front shooting rest?

#1 Post by Les »

I've trawled through a few threads etc, but I haven't really found an answer so ....... can anybody recommend a reasonably priced e.g. around £150 or less - front rest? This would primarily be for a .22lr, although it would also possibly be used for other calibers eventually.

Any info would be gratefully received. sign85

If you're shooting bench rest get the Italian one; you'll regret getting a cheaper one!

Les, Warrington ain't far from Diggle and Diggle is the home of UK benchrest. Shooters are always upgrading, so budget stuff is always coming up for sale.

Fox Firearms have a shop on Range and he stocks a good selection of rests from Caldwell to SEB.
