Do you use this with your AR?Not a fan of lead sled. Bought a Cowen rest(made by vo-tech machinist class in Altoona Pa.All proceeds go to local charities.) As good as any high end rest and for around 230 bucks.For the rear I use a Protektor Dr. bag......steady as a rock. see link below for picture of rest......

Shooting bags and a good adjustable front shooting rest. Sinclair (sold by Brownells) and Bald Eagle (bullets.com) sell the premium type front rests but you can find Caldwell and others that serve quite nicely for quite a bit less.He wants something to shoot an AR from the bench with, something that's easy to set up and use

Right now the Bald Eagle, normally 425.00 is on sale at bullets.com for 165.00. I just got one. This thing is nice, fine height adjustment and lock knob, quick height adjustor and lock knob and fine windage adjustment. Aluminum or cast iron. Super well made. Protektor 1" extra height rabbit ear rear bag finishes the set up. Very solid.Shooting bags and a good adjustable front shooting rest.

Heck, I have used a MTM K-Zone shooting rest with an AR which is molded out of plastic. It does pretty well and its pretty indestructible as well for about $40. I wouldn't use for serious target shooting but for testing a rifle or load at the range, it serves the purpose.
I just bought one of these... http://www.dog-gone-good.com/ .... IMHO, much better then the Cadwell...
The lead sled sits the rifle up much higher then I could ever make comfortable on the bench, I was always contorting my neck and body to "make" the lead sled work... that does nothing to help you shoot an AR accurately.
Cool. Thanks a lot for the link. I like that they have different bags for different uses. I may just send them an order soon.
