Question: Do you think this will work for sighting in a .308 caliber rifle? or should i go for something like the Caldwell Matrix Shooting Rest?
Document: This steady rifle rest by Caldwell is perfect for sighting in a scope or even iron sights on pistols or rifles. Light weight but rigidly made. Even though it does not absorbe recoil, I do that with my shoulder while the rest holds the crosshairs of my scope in the center of the bulls eye, so I now know my rifle shoots like a lazer, and anything outside of precision shooting is my holding fault.
This stand works great at the range and for bench work. It's very light and packs easily in my range (gym size) bag along with scopes, tools, ammo, binoculars, etc. Yet it proved to be very stable shooting small bore rifles and I would think it would work well with larger bore rifles by placing a small flat bag of sand across the mid-section.
I have used this for about a month or two. Assembly was pretty easy. I like that you can detach the back portion and use this as a rest for handguns as well as long rifles if you have the back attachment on. Holds my rifles well when I was bore sighting them and very pleased with the purchase.The entire unit is made of plastic so if you plan on being rough with yours or cannot take care of the items you own very well I would suggest metal, or something heavier.
This works really well for your standard hunting rifle with the wood stock, but does not work well if you have a tactical AR-15 style stock. The problem is the rear part of the rest does not fit the collapsible stock. sure you can rest it on there, but its not going to be very stable if you want to hold your gun still while sighting it in. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
I am very satisfied with this rifle rest. Although I know there are better ones, for the dollars spent I think it was the perfect choice for me. I wanted it primarily for sighting in new weapons or checking old ones for accuracy and it was perfect for that. The assembly was easy, 5 min, and the adjustments are easy to perform in the field. I use a card table as a rest and can zero in fast.
I like the product. It's as represented, I didn't expect a top-of-the-line product, but the box had been previously opened, some installation started, items put back, screws missing. I had to uninstall some items because some steps had been missed. Insufficient screws and screws of the wrong size bothered me. Still worth the price and I think it will do a good job for bench shooting.
I shoot many long barreled pistol from my 9 inch barreled Ruger 22 Mag pistol to T/C Contender Super 14 pistols. These require some kind of rest for shoot over certain yardage, The Ruger I use out to 50 yards with this rest and the Contender out to 100 to 150 yards depending on the caliber.This is not a great top of the line pistol rest like the ones for $400, but it is more than adequate for most of long barreled pistol shooting.
This Caldwell rifle stand met my needs and it was very inexpensive. It holds my rifle steady enough 4 me 2 mount a scope and zero it out on a target. I realy like it and it did not dent my wallet.
This worked great for sighting in my rifle. It's very lightweight and the adjustments are a little clunky, so won't work as well as the more expensive rifle rests available. But for my needs, which were basically finding an inexpensive way to help me sight in accurately this worked just fine.
You don't have to have the most expensive or the heaviest. The versatility of this bench rest is worth it alone, but it's a nice rest and can be broken down to carry to the range. Don't use the pistol side of it much, but use the rifle rest for all sorts of shooting, sighting in scopes, maintenance, and sometimes just plain old display of a nice rifle when I'm in the shop. This thing was a good deal and is well used around our place.
Answer: yes
