Caldwell Shooting Rests The Steady Rest NXT

This item works great for a very portable, light weight adjustable gun rest for target shooting; and to work on or clean your rifle. It is not designed to clamp down a rifle and is not weighted to prevent recoil movement for large caliber rifles - thats why its called and designed as a "steady rest"! I use it for my 22LR rifles and PCP airgun.

Why this rifle rest is not rated higher is beyond me. For the price, it is well constructed, easy to assemble, light weight and gets the job done. Primary purpose is to hold a rifle while installing a scope or other simple tasks that do require additional supports to steady a rifle while performing more difficult tasks. Probably not to be used for sighting in a rifle scope that requires a more solid hold to withstand recoil, etc. But for holding a rifle, again, for light jobs. . .this is excellent. I have 4 of them and use them frequently. HIGHLY recommend. Very competitive pricing here at WM. . . .

This is a very inexpensive way to sight in or work on a rifle.

This is a great deal and holds a rifle good, I may use it more than my Led Sled, its so light and works great for a rifle or a pistol.

Thin plastic. Very light. Adjustable. It works ok for rifle or handgun rest.

This bench works well when assembled, does what it supposed to. Cant beat it for the price.

Somewhat lighter weaght plastic than expected given the application. Also a better design would have been to have the bridge between the forward rest and the butt stock rear rest to be collapsible and therefore adjustable. It's a bit awkward to transport, even if disassembled.

I never received this item I ha e been waiting on it

Very cheaply made. Fell apart several times. Threw it in the woods.

I must review this. I read so many great reviews out there but they are wrong. I used this to sight in my AR and every time I shoot it moves. The worst part is getting the front low enough to line up with the back which is to low. As a fix I tried to jack up the back and that allows it to move more. Yes I could weigh it down but by the time I spend more money doing that I could have purchased a better setup. That is why I hope my review helps someone else to save a little more and get a better set up. I made the mistake of writing a tuning note on it or I would return it. Just a cheap set up. However, if that is what you desire, you got it here!
