Seb rest part

[JMayo]

I found a seb, actually 2 sebs.
One with the weight on the front and one without.
I'm looking at one without. It has the small leg and it has the empty hole that a bearing foot goes in but no bearing foot. Nowhere on sebs pages do i see accessories. Are these after market?

And which rest do you think is best.
Counter weight or not ?

I've had both, but prefer the Ratigan with the counter weight. Parts are available from Erine Bishop, SEB USA

Counter weight adds a very nice balance to the joystick when your rifle is on it. Much smoother for me

Wonder how much weight is needed for a 17lb rifle ?

None

None

You mean the weight there is enough ?
All i read says up to 13.5 ...

I have a Seb Max with weights but don't use them.
My guns weigh just shy of 17# for LG and 23# for HG and I don't find the weights necessary.
My guess is though that you are looking at Neo rests? Maybe a different feel.

 

[JMayo]

Yes neo. I started looking and wound up with two. One is the Ratigan and one is not. I've not shot off the Ratigan yet. I guess I'll see for myself if it holds my 17 LG. I don't have anything heavier.
I'm gonna sell a Farley II and a Randolf.

The part in question aka the picture ...
Was a forend stop upside down in the pic. ...
Lmao !
Btw i know how to search plenty well !

I shot my 17 lb and had the weight about half way. No problem. Gonna shoot 13.5 & 10lb Sat. The weight will probably come toward the rest another spot or two

I rebuilt mine as I purchased an old one and Ernie was a big help.
It came out amazing....and has the Ratigan style counterweight as well.
Works good for my needs.
