Front rest advice

[Uncle H]

I am stepping up in quality for a new Front Rest, besides the Sinclair ($650.00) what are the websites for the other upper end Front Rest? Have not had much luck in finding them.

Farley would be one.

Grizzley tools has one I have been looking at.

I'm a cheapster so I use the Calwell Rock and a Protektor rear bag. I have a small piece of plywood for the Rock to sit on top of.

What rest are you using now?

If you want to shoot F-T/R you'll need a bipod.

[Uncle H]

Using a Caldwell BR Rock right now and for bi-pod in F-Class I use the Sinclair 3 RD Generation

i thought about the same thing but i was thinking of using my bottom and just getting a new rest top like the ones sinclair sells (hope that 3rd gen bipod is worth it just ordered 1 today)

[Uncle H]

You wont be disappointed in the Sinclair 3 RD Gen Bi-Pod, its not cheap but it works great.

i am like some of ya'll spending 700 + on a front rest is crazy if i ever get to where i want to shoot nationally then i will think about it so for now i'm just going to replace the rest top with something better(i shoot my dads old lyman) and i'm thinking about something like this.

Here is the rest I found, first saw it at a match and was very impressed.
I ordered mine at a cost of $450 delivered could not of made a better choice, absolutely the most solid rest I have ever seen or used.
Give them a look and if you call Dan is very easy to work with, does not require deposit and gets them done in less time than he quotes you.

IMHO, the Sinclair looks the same as the D.R. Greenlaw, but a lot less money. Me, I use a Harris Bipod and a bean filled bag for the rear. The Harris Bipod can be swapped from rifle to rifle very easy and is about $110 for the best one.

Have a look at the seb neo front rests if you are looking for a top end one, most of the top f class guys here are using them

Dave the Sinclair is $155 for just the top does not include the base, a complete one is around $650. Dr Greenlaws is no where close to looking like a complete Sinclair.

Nzshooter the OP is looking for something less than $650 not double the cost or over a 14 month wait from Indoniesha.

[Uncle H]

Thanks for all the info guys, we ( the wife and I, she shoots also) decided on the Sinclair, its $669.00 now and the front bag was another $63.00, it was delivered today. Will post some pix and a update this weekend after we use it.

Well, you got the dollar amount wrong....it was more. But on the plus side....there is no 14 month waiting period....and on the double plus side, it's not coming from Indonesia!!

[Well we got to play with the new toys today, went out and the wife got some 600 yard zeros on two of her rifles, she is shooting with us next weekend in her first 600 yard match, her are some pix of the rest and bipod and one of her 600 yard targets. The Sinclair Rest is great, rock solid, it is heavy (30 pounds).

Thank you for the link!

The Sinclair rest is backwards for her. The windage knob needs to be on the right. I believe they are reversable.

[Uncle H]

You are correct sharpshooter, we had not changed the windage knob yet, and they are reversable.
