Hi jeff i think this needs some more debate because everything is well addressed in this forum,
I have some questions for thought-
1/If rear adjustable rests are allowed what are the specs and what can you do and what cant you do
2/ Does the rest have to be totally mechanical Eg can it have nuematic adjustment , or electrical servo's
3/ What is the allowable weight of the adjusting device, width of the rear bag effectively you could have a 8" front sled and an 8" rear rest. That would certainly provide for a stable rifle of any weight as there is no rifle weight restrictions now.

We all must be mindful of costs and keeping the Newbies coming in, $1200 for a front rest then $1000 bucks for a rear rest with all the bells and whistles and you are talking alot to get started.

At present guys can use there caldwell rest and a sand bag of quality and be somewhere in the ball park......
just a thought
cheers Les
