Rimfire one piece rest.

Hi all,

I’m in the market for a one piece rest.
I have never shot from one, what do you guys consider one of the better choices currently available?
Price is not a deciding factor, .but quality and function are.
information will be appreciated..

Thanks,

Basically there are two main choices.

Arnold 1 Piece or PQP Joystick One piece. There is a PQP lite as well that doesn't have a joystick. It's all personal preference. Not sure where you are located, but I would recommend going to a match and you will most likely be able to see the first two at any decent sized match and possible the third as well.

Randolph Machine make a nice 1 pc. as well.

The Cliff Arnold rest looks really nice. I did a quick search and found plenty of pics..but can’t find any contact information for him..

I sent you his email via pm.

I bought a PQP joystick rest last year after I finished putting a barrel on my Vudoo V-22S action and putting it into a McMillan Kestros stock. This is the first & only 1-pc rest I've used, so have no experience with any other, but I like it. I got PQP's fuzz button top for it - works great.

I have a PQP one piece joy-stick rest and I bought a Randolph front rest with the conversion arm to make it a one piece rest. So far the Randolph works much better for me as I can use it as a one piece or separate the front for stand alone use. The PQP rest works well, but I can't get some repair parts that I need for it. Been trying to get them for well over a year now with no success. It's really frustrating having a rest you can't get OEM parts for.

Rick,
‘Thanks for the information..I will definitely keep that in mind making my choice of rests.
I haven’t looked at the Randolph rests.

Have you talked to Jerry directly. Was it the roller on the elevation post?

Don’t forget Pappas rests.

I use a Cliff Arnold and it is the BEST. Be sure to add the caring handle and holder for the bench feet. Mine has the roller top which is fabulous. I can send pictures to you if you want.

I also have an Arnold rest. Love it. Cliff is a great guy to work with and responsive. Mine is red with silver knobs and trim. Also have the feet and the thick cookie foot. Roller top.

Yep, I have contacted him several times. I wanted the rubber between the top and bottom pieces and some of the Delrin components. The rubber isolator on mine has deteriorated and I want to replace it with the correct item. I need a new dog bone and riser for it and this has been impossible to obtain. Hence my reason for buying the Randolph rest. I will be selling the PQP rest at a substantial price break and be done with it. Someone else can deal with it.

Huh, Jerry has always been been very helpful when I’ve need something. I would be interested in your pqp when you decide to sell.

I sent two emails to Cliff Arnold. Over the past few weeks without a reply.
