not sure if this is the place or not to ask..Does the front bag come with these rest? If have heard they do and they don't.Anyone know for sure?

Mine came with a small and, IMO, inadequate cushion that I replaced with an aftermarket that I feel works better. But given the quality of the rest I didn't complain.

Mine did, I never used it. I already had a Protector 3" wide front bag. If you do not end up with one and I can find mine you can have it.

Every Caldwell front rest I have owned has come with a front bag but they do not all come with the same style front bag.

If you want a Caldwell Front Rest decide which rest you would like and then you can figure which bag you will get. Cladwell has a large variety of front bags that you can order seperately from them or you can adapt a aftermarket front bag.

Use the Google function and you should get your questions answered. To get factory information you will need to go to Battenield Technologies who owns Caldwell.

They do and you will want to replace it. POS are kind words for it. I found the quality of the rest okay once you put a good bag on it. It isn't a SEB or a Farley, but it isn't close to a thousand bucks to own either. If I was shooting under a time constraint I would upgrade, but I really doubt I could shoot smaller groups off a more expensive rest with my causal approach to shooting.

I don't know if I would call the Caldwell front bags a Piece Of S. I think they are not great but they are sufficient for the purpose they are normally used for such as plinking and regular rifle stocks such as everyday hunting stocks. I used a Caldwell Rock BR and a Caldwell Fire Control both with the 3 lobe 3" front bag they came with and had good results on my 3" wide flat bottom stocks. These were good for a introduction to benchrest shooting for me. I then moved up to a Sinclair Competition Shooting Rest with a Edgewood Front Bag which is my current front rest.
