Which Rifle Rest to get

[jr600yd]

How about the Farley rest?

Ok. For the sake of my sanity, if the jj is that nice, why would you use the Sinclair most of the time?

My BRA is 4". I have the Sinclair set up for 4". Both of my Dashers are 3". I set up the J&J for 3" Lately most of my shooting is being done with the BRA. for LG and one of the Dashers for HG.

Rests are like shoes, you cannot have just one.

You are correct. I have the cam locked down for 300 and 600 yard competition. I used it in short range Br when I shot that discipline. James

I am new at this, so I need some advise. I am looking for a front rifle rest. I am not interested in the coax. I prefer the all mechanical type. I was originally looking at the sinclairs benchrest, but decided to do some research. I ended up seeing that people rave over the loh and the fulgham rests. I am leaning toward the fulgham. But would really love some input from some professionals on this forum. If there is anybody who has tried both, please chime in. I wish I could see both in person side by side, but unfortunatley that is not gonna happen

Thx

I've had half dozen different rest over the years. Bought one of the first Sinclair Competition rest with a second top for narrower fore ends, a second mariner wheel and post and have never looked back. Best rest I've ever owned. Especially good for a left hander like me and the ability to switch the controls to allow a righty to use it. Never had the sinking top problem either.

Cicognani or JJ for me for non joystick rests

I agree with Alex, regarding the closeness of the controls. Have been using a leather bag to support my left hand during a string and I do not have to move my hand to make both elevation or windage adjustments. I have, on more occasions that I would like, forget to tighten the vertical post. That is on me. Is there a front rest where there is no locking screw on the post?

I talked to jon loh and he told me that several matches that were won with his rest did not have the center post lockdown locked. the tolerances on his rest are that close he said. I wound up getting one and it is a work of art. love it bunches. both are great rest though. good luck

I see two Sinclair rests that I imagine are made for competition. Having no competition experience which one are you talking about. The benchrest or the all purpose, I imagine it’s the benchrest.
