Rifle rest for cleaning/ zeroing??

Tikka391

Hey all,

I want to get a rifle rest that I can use for zeroing and I also use as a holder for cleaning at home.

So anyone that has any experience or advise on this would be appreciated

Thanks.

Foe cleaning I use a Tipton. For zeroing I use a Caldwell rock jr and rear back bag. I can use the Caldwell for cleaning but the Tipton is only of use for say a rimfire as there is no kick and with the Tipton you cannot shoulder the gun.

A compromise is the Caldwell fire control rest. I had this system too and it was great. There is also the lead sled but the price of these start around €300 and go up from there. They do provide a cleaning platform and a stable rest/rear bag system for zeroing and shooting but the price is comparable to the Tipton and separate front rest/rear bag system I mentioned in the opening paragraph.

So the question is how much do you want to spend and do you want a single system with a good degree of hefty or two separate systems, one of which stays at home and the other is for range work?.

I use a Black and decker workmate ( Aldi knockoff actually) for cleaning, might try it for zeroing - should work.

Thanks for the reply Cas.

I was just looking at the Caldwell matrix shooting rest.

It's just under €100, looks like it could cover as both.

I currently use a fold up patio/picnic table and it is steady enough.

But I am going to pop to B&Q and get one of those tables. I seen one on YouTube I think and they look great for the job, and cheap as chips too.
