Options for 5 inch front rest?

[40X Guy]

I'm currently in the planning stage for a HG for IBS 1000 yard comps for next year. What are my options for a rest designed to hold a 5 inch fore arm stocked rifle that will weigh ~ 25 pounds... Am having trouble finding any info out there about who makes them and is it better to have a one piece front and rear rest? Does anyone make 5 inch front bags?

I currently am using a Fulgham/Randolph Machine front rest with which i am very happy.

R.W.Hart makes a 6 inch wide top and they have a bag with thicker ears that fits in it for 5 inch guns. Protektor will make any size bag you want. They even have that super slick covering if you want. Matt

Randolph machine will make you a larger top then just order a bag that will fit the new top and stock. JJ also makes 5" tops but since you already have one of if not the best rest already that's what I'd do.

I can't help with the rest itself but as far as a bag, I would look at Protektor.

I have one for my 4" stock and works great. My 4" bag fits in a standard size rest.

Ok, excellent info! I thank you Erick for the Protektor bag link which will work great and I will call Randolph machine and see if they can help me with a top. Nice thing about the Randolph machine rest is you can change top in 10 seconds... RW Hart has about everything one could need or want as well. Thanks everyone!

You could order a Seb MAX from Ernie, since you have the time......

Check out D.R. Greenlaw Machining. Made a 4 inch top for my Sinclair. Good rates and fast service. Will build anything you want, and a real nice person to talk to.
