Front rest recommendation?

[vonb]

I've researched this board and am wondering what the latest recommendations are for a front rest. I've always shot off of bags or bipods and am looking for a nice rest in the $400-$800 range. It will be used for anything from load dev to p-dogs to F Class shooting.

I have been using the Sinclair Rest for many years. It weighs around 35 lbs if I remember right.

The Shadetree is in that price range and hard to beat for the money if you prefer a joystick. It isn't as heavy as a lot of the others, which may or may not be an advantage to you for the mix of shooting you do.

I use a Grizzly with a Shade Tree upper, I has greatly helped my stability. The Rifle also has a Urban Rifleman Bag Rider.

Caldwell Rock base. Shadetree joystick. Around 450 +/- Just my two cents Tommy Mc

Bald Eagle (Grizzly Ind.) plain rest triangle aluminum #BE-1128 - $160. No frills rest which if you decide to upgrade you'll get most of your money back.
Edit- I missed the intention for F-class. For competition I agree to add a Shadetree top.

Seb Mini is slightly above your price but by far the nicest.

+1 for the cast iron Grizzly rest and Shade Tree top.

+2 for the Grizzly/Shadetree top! My first rest was a Caldwell, then I bought a Grizzly with a Shadetree. I got a Sinclair Varmint rest for Christmas, a few years ago. I put a Shadetree top on it. It’s a little nicer than the Grizzly but does the same thing.

So much depends on your shooting style. But for those 3, I would tend to use 3 different rests.

I'll second the D R Greenlaw. Been using mine for about 6 years, bought a Farley and quickly went back to my Greenlaw.
