Birchwood Casey Alpha Shooting Rest
$42.09
$72.82
For this price point it’s a no brainer. Two issues I came across, (1) The threads in the main tubes were bunged up so I had to chase the threads with an M8 1.25 tap. (2) there is too much play where the large elevation screw attaches to the rifle hold down. I took it apart and put enough epoxy in there to fill all the gaps, no more shakes. Of lesser mention, there is some play in the windage adjustment, mostly up and down a tiny bit, but with the rifle on it, it’s really not an issue. If it drove you crazy you could fill the holes where the adjustment screws go and redrill them or find some nice tight brass bushings and epoxy them in place. For 42 bucks, I bought three. You can hardly buy a 15 lb. anchor for forty bucks.
