WINDAGE HEAVY VARMINT REST Reviews & Ratings

Available in the following formats:

The Sinclair Heavy Varmint Bench Rest model is designed for shooters who prefer using Protektor or Edgewood front sand bags. The rest top side plates allow the user to “pinch” the sand bag for subtle bag width adjustments. Purchase the front Protektor or Edgewood sand bag which best fits your forend width: sporter, varmint, or flat-bottomed B/R stock (front sand bag is not included with Sinclair Heavy Varmint Bench Rests, please see page xx and order separately).

The Sinclair Heavy Varmint All-Purpose rest is designed with our versatile All-Purpose (A/P) Top which quick-adjusts to accommodate nearly any forend. Switch from narrow sporter stocks to 3-1/2” BR stocks with a turn of a lever. The Sinclair Heavy Varmint All-Purpose Rest includes a dual-sided leather/cordura sand bag (not filled).

The windage topped version adds the convenience of quick-adjust horizontal movements for competitive shooting by turning the windage knob located on the side of the rest top. Available in both right-hand and left-hand shooter versions.

When ordering windage top versions, right-handed shooters will order a RIGHT-HAND rest and left-handed shooters will order a LEFT-HAND rest. The adjustment knob will be on the correct side to be adjusted with the shooter's off hand.

Sinclair Heavy Varmint Rest

Rest is nice however, I had to re-tap the treads in the rear leveling bolt hole, as the bolt only went about one third of the way down and didn't reach the bottom of the leg. Pretty dissapointing for a rest this expensive to have to correct a manufacturing defect.

Sinclair Heavy Varmint Rest

first off let me say this is a good rest but not perfect out of the box. I ordered a right hand rest (windage adjustment on left side) but the one I received had the windage adjustment on the right side so I had to return it. one issue I noticed on the rest I returned was the right front leg the foot would not screw all the way into it. if I were to keep this rest it would need to have a tap run through it to clean up the threads. returned the rest and ordered another righthand rest. this one was correct when I received it. once again on the right front leg I wasn't able to screw the foot into it. ran a tap through it to clean up the threads and it works fine. also the two adjustment screws to squeeze the bag had to be cleaned up as well as you couldn't screw them in all the way to where the side plates would squeeze the bag. overall these were minor issues which were probably cause by painting after machining.

Great rest for the price

I use the Gen II version of this rest for sighting in rifles and for shooting groups at 100 and 300 yards. I bought the bag in the photo for use with my flat-forend 6mm BR rifle, and just bought a second bag for use with rounded sporter-style forend rifles. My group sizes are much more consistent with this rest, as I can adjust it to provide rock-solid support on targets at varying heights. Only downside is that the target picture moves up slightly when I lock the vertical adjustment, so I have to fiddle with it a bit to get it locked and right on the target. Not a big deal but it does eat a few seconds on every shot. Windage adjustment doesn't have this problem. Still, vastly superior to any other rest I've owned and moderately priced compared to many other options. By the way, this is a HEAVY rest.
