My Rest got an Extreme Make-Over & its Hot...

[Nodak7mm]

I had Bob Pastor of Viper Benchrests make me some F-class feet for my Bald Eagle slingshot rest and since he does powder coating and such, I gave him the go ahead to make it look sweet. And he sure did!!!!

Man do I got a kick butt, hot looking rest for F-class now!! He did a great job and I really owe him a thanks for exceeding my expectations and the fine craftsmanship employed...

Just what all did he do and how much does it cost, if I may ask.

Info straight from Bob:
Each rest is customized for the individual shooter.All the brass knobs and handles are melted down rifle cases from my foundry. “It’s the only brass that will never be left on the range again”.
(Aluminum knobs and handles can be substituted of weight is a concern.)
Each knob and handle is individually knurled and turned on my lathe.
All threaded stainless steel rods, knob screws and knob extensions are used. These are all highly polished before installation.
The Viper Double edge F Class Feet are 4” wide with a large tapered spike, turned concentric to the center hole.
All corner stainless steel rods are ½ x 13 threads per inch for added stability.
All corner stainless steel rods have concentric points turned on the ends for use on a shooting bench.
All corner holes in base are drilled and tapped for ½ x 13 tpi., from 3/8 x 16 tpi. For better stability.
The base is stripped of any paint and all sharp edges and burrs are removed prior to powder coating.
The entire rest is either powder coated or painted according to the material it’s made of.
All threaded rods are burnished to remove any small burrs, before applying synthetic grease and assembly.
All brass is highly polished, unless a matt finish is desired.
Each rest is then packed in liquid hardening foam for safety during shipping.
7 day turn around.

Price depends on the customers desires and is quoted before shipping rest to me.

That in a nutshell, is the extreme makeover. Bob is a great guy to work with and he is a top shelf shooter too, so he knows what he wants in a rest and why..


I'll send you a PM in the am with a little more detailed info.
