    Bought this to use on a prairie dog trip and was simply amazed. The coarse elevation adjustment made for quick and easy adjustments and the joystick control was still solid and smooth after days of use. I wouldn't go without one again!

    There were two things I didn't like about this rest. One: The plastic knobs do not fit very tight. Seems like Caldwell could have made these knobs so they fit without any slack at all. Two: This rest is very difficult to use if you are a left handed shooter. In order to use the course adjustment you have to reach under your rifle with your right hand while looking through your scope to find the target, not impossible but difficult with the fire control lever in the way. If you are a lefty the Caldwell BR is much easier to manage. The cradle adjustment works great! It is very easy to use and stays in place once it has been adjusted. The rest has a nice weight which makes it stable on the bench. If you are only going to buy one rest I think the BR rest is a lot more for less money!

    I had to return the rest as it broke before I ever shot it. Caldwell quickly replaced broken rest with new one. Replacement rest works excellent! I think this has reduced the size of my shot groups by allowing me to have more consistent weight on the rear bags when shooting.

    Two things about it I didn't like were where the control arm is connected and it should be threaded and not just a set screw. The regular front bag was fine but the 3 lobe bag for a wide bench rifle was undesirable for me. At about 20lbs. the rest is stable and doesn't move. The rest sets a little high and you will need a rear bag for your rifle to be paralel to your bench. The forend stop adjusts so you can return the rifle to the same place after each shot. The cradle ears pinch the front bag to get the amount of tension you want and allows the rifle recoil straight back. It operates fine and the rifle stays put once you get it where you want it. Plus it's my favorite color, green!
