Been known to use a Harris Bi-pod some for bench but mostly sandbags or my Marksman's box. That is as complicated as I get. Well do have a peep sight on my .22 WMR single shot. I have flirted with optics but always return to irons. This is as high-tech as I usually get: ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v133/TLEEF/GUNSMITHING/CRF001.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.themarksmansbox.com/images/mb-open3.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v133/TLEEF/GUNSMITHING/CRF003.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v133/TLEEF/GUNSMITHING/CRF002.jpg)

There's NO substitute for a REAL machine rest.
You can't "Ship" one UPS,.....
ANY old clapped out Engine Lathe can be subverted into performing the function of a REAL machine rest,....and if I ever get the Canron Pipe I'm trying to glom onto,....and lay out our "Tunnel" at the S.V. Range,....that will be the first thing on the agenda, thereafter.
Question,....if you are NOT shooting in a tunnel,and are at the mercy of the zephyrs....what's the point of this semi - rigid rig ?

Lessee, where is that pic of an AR with 3 different optics on the top rail, plus 3 or four things hanging off the forend, plus a buttstock that can adjust six different ways?

I've had and used a STINGER machine rest for so long that I believe it was one of the first made for long guns commercially. That rest and a chronograph takes ALL the BS out of group size and the "I think I'm getting MACH 9 from my wizz bang, suck the air from their lungs (enter caliber here). Ransom has been making handgun rest for 38 years and now make long gun rest too. For working up loads and finding the TRUE potential of a given firearm there isn't anything better. Why do you thing the rail gun guys spend as much or more on their rest as they spend on their guns. I totally agree. There is nothing that takes the BS out of shooting like those 2 items. People say "This gun won't shoot". You hook it up in a machine rest and it shoots 1/4" groups. "Hmm...seems as though the gun is fine, what else could be a problem?"

Alright! And it will shoot to the same point of aim when one unstraps it and shoot freestyle in the field.

I was just having some good "sit down" time and was flipping thru the new Cabelas shooting catalog. I ran across this and it made me laugh, anybody else seen it.? The [color:#3333FF]Hyskore #30013 Dangerous Game machine rest[/color][/b] .....for only $255 you can have your own shooting rest too.! Look at this thing,..The Wright Bros. first plane was less complicated. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/engrtobe/hyskore.jpg) The only thing it's missing is a cord to plug into 110v..! You don't even have to pull the trigger yourself, you can use the enclosed syringe to stay well clear of the blast. ![[Linked Image]](http://hyskore.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/rests_08-02.jpg) [b]They should mount an engine and wheels on it so a person could drive it around. A return to battery rest sure can test actual accuracy though... Ransom rest for testing pistols has been around a LONG time too. Not that I need that, but damn sure nice to know its the gun and not the shooter.....
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Nice that it solves the problem of rifle stock/scope battering with the dampening system, but too bad it only returns with 3 MOA.
Wake me up when they introduce the model that does all that & returns to within 1/8 MOA.
PS: Why would anyone ever think that the purpose of a machine rest is sighting in?

actually a friend of mine has one of these.
It was used in test firing a series of 30.06 rounds worked up with unknown french powder. Worked quite well to determine velocity without the risk of blowing ones self up.
