Front Rest Options for Benchrest shooting?

Farley is likely the dominant rest currently at the top short range bench rest matches but Seb and Lenzi are popping up more often.
Don‘t believe that Farley has made a new one for at least a year so Seb or Lenzi would be the high end options if you want new.
The others listed above may work well but have little experience with them.
 
IMO and experience to date, the Rodzilla Raptor is top of the food chain but the most common is probably the Seb which is also a top notch rest. I just don't have firsthand experience with his newest version, which is shipping now. Both share a common internal engineering design so I expect they will work at least similarly to one another..fwiw. Not knocking the Seb but if both are equal, the Raptor is made in the USA.

Which seb for short range br? I see he has a few different one's.
 
Can't afford any of the High Dollar ones. Could've just bought a caldwell and been more than ok with it, but made my own instead. Was a fun project. Would do a few thing's different if I ever build another or modify this one. Just for shooting groups and maybe prairie dogs if I find a decent local with flat access for drive up shooting with benches.

P.S. A painter I am not.

Impressive, kudos!

Nice work. No doubt.
 
I have been behind a Rodzilla, Seb Neo Ratigan, Max, Neo X, and Cicognani. I would not trade my 21st Century Hybrid X.

Each rest has advantages and disadvantages. My only complaint regarding the 21st Century rest is that it is a little slow changing the top out for three to 4 inch bags. In all other respects, I think it is superior to the other rest named.
