Hi Jeff
Unfortunately, no. The main rule book says as follows
"5.2 RESTRICTED RESTS
5.2.1 Restricted rests shall comprise a front rest to support the front part of the
rifle, and a rear rest to support the rear part of the rifle; neither rest may be
attached to the bench, the rifle or to the other rest, and each must be
movable independently of the other.
5.2.2 The front rest may be a block or pedestal, and may incorporate
adjustments for windage and elevation, but shall not have any guiding
means; it shall be used in conjunction with a sandbag on which to rest the
fore-end of the rifle; the section of fore-end contacting the sandbag shall
be for full width of the stock. The rear rest shall be a sandbag only, except
that a vertical spacer shall be allowed between this sandbag and the
bench-top. Such spacer shall not incorporate adjustments for windage or
elevation, nor shall it contain any protrusions which can be inserted into
the bench-top or the sandbag and the top and bottom of the spacer shall
be substantially flat. The rear sandbag shall not be contained in any
manner.
5.2.3 A sandbag shall be a bag or combination of bags, without extra additions
or devices, the covering of which shall be made of cloth, canvas, leather,
or any other similar material that can be easily flexed by the fingers. The
contents with which it is filled shall be a dry divided non-metallic
substance, such as, but not limited to sand, gravel, grain or sawdust,
packed loosely enough"
So short of major changes ,adjustable rear rests won't happen.
Cheers
