Diamondback Jack Gamble Posted March 13 Posted March 13 I am looking to purchase a shooting rest for long range rifle events. Can anyone steer me to available sources. Thanks, Diamondback Jack Gamble
Frontier Lone Rider Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Most pards just make their own. I have made five different sets depending on the range and distance. However, there is only one annual match that I have attended that allowed the use of a rest. I let the folks use mine.
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Buffalo Arms has a fair selection, if you don't do woodworking. Cross Sticks Selection good luck, GJ
Griff Posted March 14 Posted March 14 I used to make 'em... price depended on wood selected. Mesquite was quite expensive, but pretty. My favorite are mine with cherry wood & engine turned stainless stakes. Kinda sad when yer crossed sticks are prettier'n yer rifle!
Lucky R. K. Posted March 17 Posted March 17 You might want to check out a "Wrist Rest". Dave has one but is different from the ones we used in the past. Fred Leeth and his son Freddy ran a machine shop somewhere in Ohio, I think. They made small components for black powder shooting including wrist rests and cartridge deprimers. Both were excellent but the deprimers would only do 38 and 45 calibers with a maximum case length 2.10". I was shooting a 45-90 Browning Creedmoor and asked them to make a tool that would déprime the 2.4" case. They declined and I wound up making it myself adjusting it for a maximum case length3-1/4". Since that time, I have sold over 200 of them all over the world and have given away almost that many. Lucky
Lucky R. K. Posted March 17 Posted March 17 They also sold an excellent lube called "Pioneer Lube". It held up to heat and cold better than the popular lube at that time: SPG. Lucky
