Hi Peter,
I used a Caldwell Fire Control front rest for my 1st few shooting seasons and for the money it was great. I replaced the original bag with a hand made leather one made by a local saddler..it was a good move but it needed a lot of lubricant to help the rifle slide. It let me down twice in identical fashion. With about 20 seconds left to shoot the rest collapsed leaving me no time to get reset to put my final shot down. Truth is it was my fault because all I needed to do was tension the screws properly and it would have been fine.
In any case I've upgraded to a SEB which has given me no trouble at all and is a joy to use. I should point out that no rest will make the bullet fly straighter but compared to the Caldwell, the SEB certainly allows me to be more efficient during the relay.
Regards,
MIchael Bell
