Could you give more information? It'd help figure out what you want to accomplish.

bench rest for shooting rifles...
either bags or any other types.
thanks

I have a Caldwell Lead Sled DFT and love it. Sighted in 3 rifles with it and it handles AR's no problem, and with enough weight, pretty much everything else.
Has both windage and elevation fine adjust.

Somewhat pricey compared to just a front rest or bag but you can find them on sale occasionally for less than $150

I went with Sinclair Lightweight Benchrest and Edgewood rear bag. But it all depends what you want to accomplish with it.

+1 for the Lead Sled.

It's a "good to have" when zero'ing your rifles.

These days I prefer sandbags...more realistic approach.

The ranges I go to supply sandbags so it's not something you have to buy unless you're going to BLM or something.

I wish we had ranges that supplied support bags... I don't think any of them around here do.

Varmint shooters use, if you are a serious shooter. Worth every dime.

Just bought a Lead Sled DFT as well. However, I haven't had a chance to give it a try. Appears to be very well made.

Bipod and any good rear bag is all you need

[safety-1st]

I use small Caldwell shooting bags. A nice inexpensive solution to use. I use it just for support on the bench and not for precision, although the bags help a bit If your looking for precision then go with something more serious and more expensive.

That's where I am now. Atlas bipod and a Bison rear bag.

This combo works really well for shooting groups from the bench:

A bipod up front is more versatile, in that you could use it at the bench AND in the field, whereas the Caldwell front rest linked above is really only good from the bench.

But the bipod probably won't be as steady from the bench as the Caldwell.

Depends on what you want to do.

I would agree with everything you said. I use that same Caldwell rest and its nice for what it is.
