Mike,
Thanks so much for posting this man. I love following you guy's matches.
You did very well with 4th over all. My hat is off to you guys who stay in the 240's for 3 cards in a row!

I really enjoyed looking at the rifles and the Front rests. I bought one of those cheapy Bald Eagle rest with that fancy looking cable. That cable just doesn't work worth a crap. Took it off and just mounted the knob straight to the rest.

Alright, now ya gotta play "name that rest" with me
What's the rest 2nd pic from top?....Is that the famous Randolph rest?
3rd pic from top ?????
and 5th from top???? Randolph as well?

Those Randolphs are tempting ;-)

Jimmy here are the 3 top rests in my estimation
the Randolf

the JJ 

the Neo joy stick with an 8 month waiting list

Thanks for the info Dick. Looks like I may need to consider a Randolf from every thing I've read?

 

[Strever]

when you do order one get it with the Mark 2 top
my mark 1 top is sitting under the bench ever since i got the 2
it is extremely versatile

I do like that top! The little sand bags are attached right?

Their site says
"Our Adjustable Top uses a turnbuckle assembly to close the integral vertical sandbags to either side of the stock forearm, while moving over a bottom mounted sandbag. All of the integrated sandbags are filled with sand and are approximately one half inch thick. The Mark II has adjusting knobs on both sides for right or left hand use."

Nice!
$150 for the top and only $750 for the front rest......it's a steal at $900 !!!!! LOL
Lordy, I gotta start selling some things! Maybe I get a couple hundred for my Bald Eagle?

Thanks for the heads up ;-)
Jimmy
