Nick 53 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Hi all, firstly wishing everyone a Forthcoming Happy New Year ! since I have sold my seb rest earlier this year ! I can’t forecast the future ! I am now going to buy a 6br in the new year, I already have my sight on such a rifle . I will be shooting 600/1000 yard Benchrest and Fclass comps. Now I want to buy a Front Rest to use under my 6br. i want to buy a mid range front rest! Seb rests are out of the price bracket. what and where is ideal to look at? I’ve seen on the net the Caldwell 6BR Rest around £240.00 what do you think Please Clean Answer please! Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Hi Nick, For benchrest there's the Caldwell Fire Control joystick rest. I started out using 1 of those and won the factory sporter class at 600 a few years ago. I also know there are a couple of guys selling almost new 2nd hand ones they started with at the GSAC 1000yd range. However, I'm not sure how they would do for F-Class. There's always the option of having the stock inletted to take a piece of Anschutz rail and use a bipod for both. Atb Panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Nick, As a serious bit of benchrest kit, the Caldwell leaves a lot to be desired but, I've seen them used in competition. When (- if) you start shooting benchrest competition you'll soon get to hear what's available on the s/h market. Please don't lash out £240 on a Caldwell. If you do buy the 6BR that was on the club notice board, it has a three-inch wide fore-end and you'll be able to borrow a rest on the day - until you can get your own.

Nick 53 Posted December 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Hi gun Pimp , thanks for the information, once I have my 6br will come to suitable comp and have a go ! The rifle I have looked at has a rail inlet into the forend so for time being I would shoot off bypod. Once I have funds for front rest then I shall ask to see if there are any second hand for sale. i hate to get a serious small group of my bypod and not be able to score points ! That could be sickening ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
