What front rest are you using?

I went ahead and had a local welder with a plasma cutter, burn
me a !/2" thick triangular plate. After doing the layout work and
punching holes, I transferred the holes to the bottom aluminum,
the drilled a tapped for 5/16-18 socket heads. After checking
for clearance, I welded in a handle, and good to go.....Too cold
out in garage to get the powder coat gun out, so I'll use it as it
is. Total weight is now 25 lbs.

I have the Bald Eagle "slingshot" rest made of cast iron. I think the weight is 21 pounds. I removed the cable assembly that adjusts windage, flipped the table and use a "Mr. Gasket" manifold stud to adjust windage from the left side. The stud has two different threads; one that fits the table and the other is correct for the knob from the cable assembly. No modification of the stud is needed unless you want to shorten it a bit. That's a personal decision for each shooter to make.

Everyone else I shoot with uses the top of the line Sinclair rest. Unless or until the Sinclair goes on sale, I can't justify the expense.

I really don't think the Sinclair is all that better then your Iron Eagle.
I like some of the features better on the Sling shots. For the guy's
that I'm around, It's a mix. Some use the Seb Neo. We call it the
SNob rest. One of these days, I'm waiting for one to show up with
a Lenzi. They are eye candy for sure. As for me, I have that Aluminum
BE1005, I just finished. I finally got the lower plate powder coated,
and the long F-class style screws came in from Grizzly, and Stable
machine feet from McMaster Carr came in also. Best Of all, and in my
opinion, better then the Sinclair. And about half the cost. With the
4" Protektor bag (heavy sand) I just pushed $300 bucks completed,
and at 26 lbs. Not sure what the Sinclairs weigh but the Lenzis and
Sebs go about 26 lbs. I can hang more if needed, and why that handle
I added.

Well I guess I was'nt done !! I added a Sinclair port level ammo
block. I fabbed up a bracket so it can be mounted on either side
and out of the way of the front leg screw. It now tops out at 32 lbs.
