Sinclair Comp Rest Base Plates - Pre-Order Live

[X-Caveman]

I had an inquiry and I know some long range guys have fashioned these themselves, so I made two of these two test. In about 2 weeks I should have some feedback and will determine if I think they are worth putting on our website for sale.

• Adds 15.5# to weight.
• Uses existing holes in Sinclair base to mount. Screws provided.
• Uses OEM front feet and Speedscrew (1/2"-20 threads)
• Plate is ambidextrous - countersinks from both directions allow L/H configuration
• Increases footprint by 77%. The area of the triangle that the three feet make grows from 60.375 SQ IN to 106.75 SQ IN.
• The speed screw becomes about 26% "speedier" and has 26% more travel
• Preserves all factory mounting locations for loading blocks/ accessories
• Preserves factory handle and adds another
• Shortens distance between speed screw and windage knob by 9/16"
• Target price of $65-$80, no paint, powder coat, nor delivery included
• Laser cut 1/2" HRS, CNC machined (drilled c'sunk, tapped, chamfered all around)

A few questions:

1. Would you have interest?
2. Would you be willing to pay more (maybe $20) to have them powder coated?
3. Should I call it "The Texas Tornado Base" or the "Poop Emoji Base"

Thanks for your help/ interest. If people like them, I'll probably do a pre-order with a little discount to help me plan production (like we did the scope checkers).

pretty solid maybe. shipping maybe a bitch.
i will say the weight does help
where are you located ?
i think it is small enough to spray and bake at home

Dallas, TX. We're about to ship one to Bakersfield, CA. I'll know more about ground rates soon.

"Everything is bigger in Texas", so they say

 

[Kyle Schultz]

I am definitively interested and would pay the $20 for powder coating.

Especially my targets.

Thanks for the input. Yes, it works for lefties, too. Just flip it over. Countersunk from both directions.

Very nice.

I'd be interested in something like that for a Farley rest.

I may have already expressed my interest. Would like one for my Hart rest. Contact me when ready.

At this time, there are no plans for any rests other than the Sinclair Competition.

I would take one for my sinclair.

I would happily pay an extra $20 for powder coat.

Name it whatever you want, so long as it works!

My JJ rest is not going to be happy about that.

Box & shipping to Bakersfield came in under $20, so shipping shouldn't be a deal breaker.

@tom
buy two of these.

 

[urbanrifleman]

That didn't take long... haha

I like the handle hole.

 

[urbanrifleman]

Holy crap that is cheap.

 

[bpmoss1]

@tom
buy two of these.

To stack them?

Thanks. This has been on the drawing board for a few weeks. Long range guys have been cobbling them together for years. Nothing new other than a few of my ideas/ tweaks and trying to standardize on a design and make a few dozen to get price down.
