So....after much mulling I went for a Bald Eagle base and Shadetree top. Still need to get a bag. Do those that have this combo just cut the rear spike screw? I think I'd still like some spike (and the ability to retract it) but clearly there isn't a need for significant adjustment there.
So I bought an Edgewood front bag. (Since it needed to be a custom width, I ordered the tall ears.) How much sand do you guys stuff in these? If I pack it very tightly the bag is almost an inch and a quarter tall at the base where the stock rests and the fore-end stop of the Shadetree will have to be elevated to the absolute limit to be effective if it is at all. So pack it hard or just comfy?
Ok I've taken a bunch of the sand out. I think it is better. This chromite sand from Sinclair sits down pretty firmly though. I do wish that fore-end stop had a silicon or similar jacket...
It was a stretch on my budget too, but after 3 years of owning it, could not be happier. Don't leave yourself wantingNice rest, a bit past my budget
SEB or Farley you won’t be disappointed, I started with a cheap Caldwell and worked my way to finally buying a Farley. I was told to buy the Farley or SEB straight up...wish I’d listened would of saved money and the Farley is a pleasure to use Varminting, FClass or BR..Howdy
Looking for a very good quality front rest that won't leave me wishing I'd bought a better model shortly thereafter. I don't shoot competition yet. Were I to do so it would more likely be F class than Benchrest. I'm principally focused on something for load development and fun but which would hold me in good stead if I went further. Are the Bald Eagle http://www.grizzly.com/products/Bald-Eagle-Triangle-Windage-Rest-Cast-Iron/BE1153 still recommended? What about Joe Cowan's? Or should I focus on Sinclair Benchrest Varmint?
TIA

Go to Home Depot and buy 2" of 3/8" surgical tubing and slide it on.
You can never go wrong with Butch's Shade Tree top! First Class.Ah - I actually have some here! Thanks. I may try clear Plastidip at some point. I only want to prevent little dings on one particular stock.
Guys, I bought Butch's Shadetree top to fit on a Bald Eagle base. Plus the Edgewood bag.
