Best Rifle/Pistol Rest ?

[PineCone]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a rifle/pistol rest.
There are dozens out there and I don't know what makes a good or bad one.
I will use it to sight in guns and test loads, not competion shooting or anything.
Thanks.

Shot bags filled with dry sand or floor dry work better for me than anything else that I have tried.

I have a MTM sholder Guard that I have used a couple times and liked. I used it for trying new slugs and turkey loads. It helps take the edge off the kick. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif I tried it with the 22lr for kicks and it worked pretty good.

I like the lead sled. Makes a long day with the magnums bearable.

I drink propel also Frogman..Better than the normal kool-aid.lol

Nice range bench setup there.!!

Pinecone, I use a front rest with a rear bag much the same as what frogman has pictured. I like this type of setup much better that a lead sled type because changing rifles is just a matter of picking one up and putting another down. As well as developing the shooters skill a bit more IMO. I shot with a friends new co-ax caldwell front rest last week and that is pretty cool.

But, whatever style your after all the caldwells work well.
