I've gotta post a big :yesnod: to Cliff for this rest, fast build time and all around a great experience to deal with.
A thank you to whom ever it was that told me about him.
I can't wait to show it off to my friends.
!
 
Looks very very similar to a Pappas. You will enjoy it better then it looks!!!!
 
Several upgrades.
SS bolts/parts

It is not Brass inserts it is Bearing Bronze thread inserts at high wear points.
Replaceable brass tracking plate.
Knobs aren't drilled all the way through.
Level installed in front bar
Handle to aid in handling.
Most of all the personal/professional customer service.

Wait a minute
So its just a modified PAPPAS rest that James or Jessica built???
 
No, the design is used by many rest builders.
Tried and true design.
Cliff has taken it a few steps further .....

Haters gonna hate I reckon .......

Big +1!
 
It was a pun from shake it off.

Gorham makes one, halls also works the same .....

I just can't figure out what you're trying to Do here.
I posted because I'm proud of it and I guess I wanted to show it off.
if you don't like it .... sry ....
 
I own a Pappas and it is a fine piece of equipment. And I will never let it go.
My point is I have never ever seen a rest that was EXACTLY like one of James rest.

I have had the luxury of shooting off one of cliffs rest a couple times. He lives less than 2 hours from me. Great guy, took my son with me to my last ARA shoot i went to. My son was going to shoot my about 1 moa savage, well cliff wasnt having that. Set my son up with one of his personal rifles (2500X, nightforce 15-55) one of his rest, and the ammo the rifle likes (eley match). Long story short he wouldnt take a dime for ammo and my son beat me even with his 3 zeros from shooting the same spot.

Cliff is a great guy and i have one of his rest coming in his spare time, slow order.

Pics of my son shooting Cliffs equipment, was my sons first ever rifle comp.
