Caldwell Benchrest rest any good?

I haven't seen the Caldwell product you are referring to, but Caldwell products are usually in the "good" category of "good/better/best". That said, I have used Caldwell products for many years with few complaints. If you want something a bit better, look at Sinclair's website, but expect to pay more for it.

They work great with narrow factory stocks as well as wide flat BR stocks. With a good rear squeeze bag setup you can shoot just as tight a group as you can with a heavy rest. I use mine in rimfire benchrest factory class with 1.5 inch a rounded sporter stock. To me they are more much versatile than a benchrest but then I cut my teeth on FT/R
