Latest Skeleton Front Rest from Lenzi…

Hey Fellers, I'm just wondering if the "trend setters" are just getting older and need lighter rest.... John ;)
Lol! You may be on to something! Either way, if the stability is just as good with a lighter rest, then I like the lighter weight. I don't know the dimensions without looking but I think the Lenzi might benefit more from weight than the newer Raptors and Sebs because it doesn't have as big of a footprint as the other two...going by memory.

I was a little apprehensive of the Raptor being stable as light as it is but after buying and using it, I have no issues with it's stability. It's solid, even with my heavy gun. I've had lighter rests to move a bit when I push the gun back while running fast. So far, so good though. I think the combination of the weight the Raptor does have, along with a well thought out footprint...it just plain works. Where the gun sets and how that weight is applied probably accounts for it to a degree as well.
 
I bought my Lenzi a little over a year ago, used, from a friend who had a new one coming in. I hadn't used one before I bought the one I have. I was using a Farley I had owned since they first came out and it had the Dave Short mod to it so it worked pretty well. Anyway, I decided to spend some of the Nursing Home's Money and bough the Lenzi. After using the Lenzi for the first time it occurred to me that I didn't even realize I was using it when I was shooting, it was and is that smooth. A much improved piece of kit compared to the old Farley, in my estimation.

The Lenzi I have is lighter than the old Farley so I thought it lite :) . Don't know why anyone would want anything liter.
 
..what is the advantage of cutting weight in the front rest.?
It's not just the physical effort in transporting/handling them. If you travel internationally, the extra freighting costs quickly add up. Airlines slug into you for those extra pounds..

One of my team mates has a Max but he has the size to lug it about and costs don't worry him.
