Great rest for the money get the cast steel.I like my bald eagle, I took the cable off and modified the knob to adjusted the windage. It's smooth and good enough for what I do!
Note change the springs and put a sand bag on the cable. Larry

Guys this is a good rest with a few modifications .Great rest for the money get the cast steel.

I did remove the cable and substituted a carb stud on my cast bald eagle. Reused the original adjuster knob. This helped a good bit. I feel it is a good rest for the money.Might try changing the springs.
True, unfortunately after building my rifles and buying new scopes, I'd have to sell a kidney to get a more expensive rest. So far at 600/1000 the bald eagle has been sufficient. There are plenty of nicer ones, but at the end of the day I've never lost and match and felt the rest was to blame. Well, except when I had that stupid cable! Needless to say if I borrowed my buddy's seb and shot better consistently I would have to get one.What gets me is everybody will spend thousands on a rifle and a thousand or more on a scope. all of this to shoot accurate. Then they turn around and only want to spend a small amount on a rest. The rest is as important as anything else in the accuracy game. Without a good solid rest the others become less meaningful.

I have noticed a lot of new shooters I see on the line fail to fully engage all the locknuts on the adjustments, incl. the legs.The thing I saw about front rests is nobody usually knows it's happening. Set a video camera up from the side and record your rest top while shooting. I have seen an awful lot of them move when watching from the side. it only takes a few thousandths of movement to error a shot at 600 or 1000 yards. Matt
