Mr. Seb
I was just put on the list for the neo x is there a video out there for benchrest.
I shoot both disciplines F-open and IBS and it would be awesome to have just one rest to carry?
Thank you

Dear Sir,
seb here.
Re: for BR use
The rest will be exactly same both for F-Class and BR, only the front bag and the feet to put under the leveling screws.
With the new internal mechanism I don't think you will need a counterweight also. It's already extra smooth and extra light with extra wide MOA travel. Tension setting is also extra easy with one screw on each side, *one in the front for horizontal friction, one on shooter's side for vertical friction*. *(This is when you use the rest in "normal mode", moving the joystik up for up, moving left for left, etc). The upward force (up-lift springs) adjustment is also super easy.
The BR front bag will be the one pc bag (with 3 separate sand compartments). It will also work for the standard NEO / Mini-X. This bag will be available in 2.25", 3", 4", 5" and 6" wide. I am sure this bag is legal to use in any sanctioned BR matches that requires full contact on the bottom of the stock, etc.
I do not offer 3 pc BR bag for the NEO-X. IMO, the one pc bag is generally better.
The 'standard' F-Class/Open bag would be the 2pc bag i.e. pair of "L" shaped bag. This bag is adjustable in width, however please do not use this bag for some sanctioned BR competitions such as under the IBS / WBSF / WRABF.
Referring to my front bags that were already inspected by the NBRSA Board & President some time ago, I believe that you could use this L shaped bag legally in NBRSA match. (Thanks to NBRSA!)
Optional front bag for FClass would be the 3pc 'bag' i.e. delrin with teflon sheet on the sides & a pliable bottom sand bag. This 'frontbag' system should also be legal for F-Class although not confirmed, yet.
All those bags above are compatible, super easy and quick to change, also no tool is needed.
F-Class fee alum 3" will be available on request. If you need heavier rest / FClass feet, you can get it from Bryan Blake FClass Products, great guy.
For stabil/superfeet disc for BR use, you can get it from Sinclair or other source easily I think.
In addition, I believe this rest will work either for F-Class or Benchrest. It is lightweight but has extra wide footprint, etc.
I hope this will answer for your concerns.
Cheers,
seb
