Any opinions on this rest?

MTM shoulder guard rifle rest
I'm looking for something for occasional shooting and sight-in...and something to help tame the recoil of my .270. $35.99 from Mid-South.
Would this be a decent choice?

Looks uncomfortable (and goofie).

A separate front rest and rear bag would be a better way to go.

I shot off one of them a couple weeks ago and did not like it. It was not stable. Save your money.

I'd save the $35 and get a limbsaver recoil pad. It'll tame the recoil and you won't have a rest that you won't use.

It's a little pricey, but I have this one and it's as good as they get for sighting in a rifle. No movement, no flinching, and cuts the recoil WAY down. I have owned several of the more inexpensive ones, and I wouldn't go back to them. Check it out.....

Have heard good reports of the Caldwell Lead Sled, they are 99 bucks now at MidwayUSA.

The only problem with the Lead Sled is that to get the most out of it you have to carry around a 25# bag of shot.....

I got enough junk to carry to the bench the way it is... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

If it is not the way I am going to shoot then I would question its usefullness. Everytime you change your hold you will change your point of impact in some way.

Also, if it kicks so bad I need that to tame the recoil then I do not need the gun! So far my 300 Ultra hurts a little, but it will be gone if I become afraid of it.

Wobbly and Micky Mouse too. For the novice shooter.

I asked for the $39 one by Caldwell for Christmas, looks like it is a little "beefier" than that plastic one.
