Caldwell Rock - Fail

Post by Klicker »

Guys, My Caldwell rock (not the BR) rest basically failed on me this weekend the cast aluminium verticle wheel appears to have stripped.

Does anyone know of a third party replacement (for the wheel). I had a feeling this would happen in the long term.

Full replacement is not an option at the moment unfortunately.

G"day'
Yeah I shoot off a old bald eagle windage top rest and rear bag that cost me $500 and it does exactly what these JJ's do.
and just as precise.
