This is the one I use. Love it. It has a curved rail, it will hold an AR-15 with the 30rnd. mag.
These sell for $99.00
I want one of those. Who makes that?

Thanks for the tips and suggestions on rifle rests. Went to Bass Pro today intending to get the Caldwell Lead Sled Solo that was on sale, put it in my cart and was just about to leave when I spotted this box on the bottom shelf. It was a Blackhawk Sporter Titan R2 rifle rest, after looking at it for a couple minutes my mind was changed to get this one. It felt like it was built stronger an d had more weight to it and I liked that it had dual rails so you could mount magazine-fed rifles like the AR/AK/SKS. The Elevation wheel was big and made of metal, feet had both metal spike and rubber pads. You could remove the weight tray if you wished. After getting home I figured out you are able to remove the rear butt support and use the front assembly as a standalone rest. It cost a little more then the Caldwell Lead Sled Solo but my wife has always tells me you get what you pay for and I like this one so the few extra dollars wasn’t a problem. Looking forward to taking it out and zeroing in my rifles in the next week.
Was wondering what your experience was with this rifle rest, they're on sale for $70 incl. shipping
It worked out great, I've used it to zero in a couple different scopes, removed the tray when the extended mags need a little extra clearance. I even used just the front support removed from the whole frame as a stand alone support with a bull bag at the rear, got a great deal at Freds Fire sale, two heavy bags for $10.
I don't remember the final cost but it was a lot more the Caldwell supports but at the time they were over $100 think I paid $75. Got it at Basspro. I really like that its heavy duty metal not plastic. I would buy it again.

Cool, so you could easily go from sighting in an AR to something like a Garand?
Yes the tray is metal and come out with 1 thumb screw. You can add a plate to the tray for more weight or use the front support as a stand along. It a well built heavy rest The only negative thing I can say about it is would be I wish the front rest was a little taller when I use the it as a stand along I would like it to be 3-5 inch taller, but I'm able to add height with something easy and it works fine.
