I use this front rest for everything from Pama style target rifles to my light hunting rifles. The rest is very solid, has a great range of adjustment and has excellent fine windage and elevation adjustment controls. The only real fault is the fore end stop, it's too high for most of my sporting rifles and contacts the barrel before the fore end sits down on the front bag.

I use this rest in Competition, what's great about it , everything, it is heavy and stays in place, the adjustment are great really make it easy to get on target and stay there. I had considered a Farley, but I am really glad I bought the Sinclair, best thing I save $300

Good job Sinclair!

This rest is an extremely well made piece of machinery. The fit and finish of all the parts is evidenced by the ease of assembly. I would call this rest a precision instrument. I'm glad I bought it!

I bought this rest after trying a friend's. This rest is steady & it makes shooting Varmint for score easier. My scores have gone up.

Sinclair needs to list an extra top with hand wheel as an option. This would make switching from 3" bags to 2 1/4" bags very easy between relays.

I received my new rest at 5:00 on Friday and took it to my local Mid-range match at 7:00 on Saturday. By the end of the day I had surpassed my personal best and shot a 596-21. This rest is so much easier to use than my "tripod" style windage rest it's almost like cheating. It's super smooth and you can control elevation and windage at the same time with one hand. At first I thought there wouldn't be enough elevation to use with my high rear bag but there was plenty. My only (minor) gripe is that it is difficult to see how much windage is dialed in when setting up the rest. We only have 5 minutes of prep time in F-class and there is a lot to do. If I could tell at a glance if the windage is full right or left it could have saved a lot of time getting it into place on the ground. I plan to add some markers of my own in the near future. I was skeptical about paying this much for a rest but now that I have it I feel it is worth every cent!

I am using this rest for IBS short range score shooting with occasional informal group shoots. I have found the operation of the windage and elevation to be very smooth and without lash. The handwheel can raise the center post with the locking screw tightened, but there is no appreciable movement in the top when the screw is tightened. I find that my shooting position is disturbed far less (virtually not at all) over the GenII rest I had shot previously. I have found the 30lb heft a non-issue with regard to mobility (just make sure that speed screw is moved up or your thigh will have a nice hole in it when using the integral handle!). I am very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking to purchase a quality windage type rest. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the thread pitch on the "feet" screws is a bit too fine, and the windage screw is not precision ground like the speed screw (picking nits)...would this change my performance probably not, but there are other rests that have precision ground screws and it's all about competition.

This is a fantastic rest. Rock Solid, easy to setup and adjust. It's heavy and has a low center of gravity. I love it!

I shoot IBS and F class 1000 yard sanctioned matches and this is the best rest, by far, I have ever used. Everything to be said about this rest has to be good.
Since its a new product all the shooters has to check it out and I'm sure you will sell several from my showing this one off.

I was looking for a rest to be used in short range benchrest score competition. I needed it to be solid, easy to use, and mobile. I had been using the Gen II sinclair rest before and found this unit to be superior. The windage knob is well placed and and a quick 1/2-3/4 turn and you are on the record bull from the sighter. My shooting position is not disturbed, and I can make fine adjustments to both windage and elevation simultaneously. The only issue I have so far is that the center column cannot be locked down well enough so that movement of the handwheel will still raise the top despite the locking screw being tightened. there does not appear to be any movement in the top when shooting, but I feel that it should be able to be locked down better.
The speed screw works well and does not have the chatter when moving up and down that my previous speed screw had.
The forend stop will hit the handwheel at the very lowest position. A delrin washer would be an easy fix to this issue and should be considered for future models.

I had the furtune of trying a number of other high end adjustable front rests prior to purchasing the Sinclair. I have come to expect tight tolerences and great performance from Sinclair products and this rest is a joy to use, it is very stable, holds point of aim, and has exceptionally smooth windage and elevation adjustments. I didn't try every rest prior to purchasing this one but I don't think there is a better product in the same price range.
