sorry mate, I only use a front rest. I reckon your better off getting a good rest such as the sinclair one and bolting a 3" plywood block onto your forend.

Ned,

The mods I did to the Bald Eagle worked very well at Weribee. Was stable and went low enough without removing the mariner wheel! :D

Hi ogre,

I have a bipod sold by James Corbett at triple J Imports.
From memory they cost around $200. Here is a pic of my triple J bipod.

yep thats the sort of thing I'm looking for.
I have emailled JJJ import and am awaiting a reply.

I was really hoping to find one that people used to used but now with the rule change have moved on to using a rest and they would be willing to sell me their old bi-pod.
Thats the hope anyway.

mitchellchandler_au-- where are you? if you are in Melb can I come and take some measurements and detail pics so I can try and build my own if no one has one for sale.

Any one in Melb here who has one like this where i can take measurements from??

F/class rest

Post by Flash Gordon »

What are you on about? If you really are a F/class shooter,You would see various types at any NRAA Shoots where F/class competitions are conducted. If you are interested,try the OzFclass site.Personally I feel,the rests I have seen,are good value.
