Is the Farley a one-piece? The PQP is one of the most popular rests in 22lr BR. Made by Stiller over in Wylie. Holeshot Arms or call Killoughs.

 

What top would you recomend for the PQP rest?

 

I thought there was a Farley one piece. I might be incorrect about that.

Thanks for the reply. I look forward to more comments.

 

Check out Target Shooting rest....targetshooting.com He has one piece rests that range from $325.00 to $1400.00, one of those should fit your budget. I'd guess the model 1000LP at $749.00 would be what you're looking for. Now if you want to spend Farley money look at the 2000LP it is one hell of a rest.

I have a front rest model 1200 rifle rest. It's a heck of a rest for the money. It is a smaller company and Wally does a get job. I've suggested a change and he is now in incorporating it into the model. Call him is will take all the time you need to talk about any questions you have.

 

Look into Randolph rests I think the have a rest that consists of 2 Pcs and can be used as 1pc or 2 pc

 

You want a joystick one piece. The PQP is made by Jerry Stiller and is by far the best there is. You can drive there in an hour. What more do you want?????

The three that you will most see at rimfire benchrest matches.
If you want a joystick, you will be very happy with the PQP. Very well made, by Jerry Stiller.
The other two to consider non joystick, are the Arnold and the Randolph.
The heaviest is the Randolph. Excellent, but for me too heavy for my old back.
My personal choice is the rest made by Cliff Arnold with his ball bearing top. If you email Cliff he will send you photos.

In my opinion these three are the best available and all offer excellent support if needed.

 

Why not the Precision Lite 1-Piece Rest by PQP for $600? Killough has them in stock and a couple guys use them for ARA matches at my range. They track pretty good from the couple of times I've tried them at the range and they are lighter weight at 23 pounds. I get pretty beat up moving my rest in and out of vehicles at weird angles as it is 40 lbs+.

wolfshoon, what rest are you using that weighs 40 plus pounds?

 

+1 on the Arnold with roller bearing top. Not a joy stick, but a very well represented rest in classes that allow one piece rests. Very well made, several options to choose from and Cliff is a great guy to do business with.

 

I'm getting a PQP with Arnold roller rest. Looking forward to my first one piece rest.

 

You will need a bungee with the roller top.

 

Thanks. Can you show a photo of how that works?

 

Here is what a basic bungee setup looks

This is an old picture, I since switched to a different bungee and top (sandbag)

Thanks. Is that to put some tension on it to maintain repeatability?

 

Some use it in that way and as John mentioned on a roller top it is a must to keep the rifle from sliding off the rest.

For me I use it to control recoil as I found out on my rifles it matters on how fast they recoil in the rest. this is the reason I switched to a sandbag top as I can really control the recoil.
I use a suitcase weight scale, the type used to weigh suitcases to avoid being over the limit. this is how I set tension.

Lee

 

A must with the roller top. It is embarrassing when your rifle rolls backwards out of the rest and onto the concrete.

 

Makes perfect sense. It wouldn't have taken me long to realize that...hah.

 

wolfshoon, you defiantly have some skills! Do you not run a fore end stop?

bpettet, you should be very happy with your choice of rest and top. Cliff Arnold also sells bungees, if you are buying direct from Cliff on the top you could get one from him. His are adjustable, and as Lee has mentioned, experimenting with tension can/does make a difference on the target.

 

I use a Pappas that I bought used off line it works ok but always looking for something better the cliff Arnold sounds interesting.

 

I'm getting the rest used from a forum member. I haven't been able to find a website for Cliff's work. How do you get in touch with him?

 

You can email Cliff colt60@ymail.com or phone %(765) 491-3932‬.He does not have a website.
He will send photos if you want. You won't find a more helpful guy.
Should look kind of like this.

Thanks Glen. I'm getting the top used also. I would like to ask Cliff about his bungee system.

 

I recently thought about ordering a SEB rest but they're expensive.
Worth it if you can afford it; they look like a work of art. :t

 

Picked up my lightly used PQP joystick rest and Arnold roller yesterday from forum member Joey Cormier. Was a pleasure to meet him and his wife. I look forward to using it. Joey even set me up with a little bungee cord rig. Thanks again! Hope to see you again in the future.

 

Joey is one of the good guys.

 

Yup:bthumb:AAA+++, never meet him in person but talked to him a few times on the phone.

Lee

 

Hope that it works well for you Mr Brian. I think my competitive shooting is winding down. Good luck with yours.

 

Mr. esk808 due you mind if I ask who makes the rest in your pictures?

 

drknite,

The rest was made by Accu-Shot in Louisiana. I compared this rest to Accu-Shot's rest, and appears to be the same.

https://accu-shot.net/main/accu-rest/

You are right !!

 

DRKNITE,

I believe that the Anschutz Custom Shop built it in the shop for their testing purposes.

I have attached another shot of the same picture, but the blog on the right of the picture says basically, "who made the rifle stand" "us".

Since this is Anschutz North America's Instagram site, I take it to mean that "us" is the Custom Shop.

I will ask Steve B. of the Custom Shop if they built it or not, though...........

 

It's been a few years, but Steve used to shoot a Randy Ledger One-Piece. I don't know if that's the case here or not?

Landy

 

Hi Landy,

You are right ! You have a good eye for things. It's a rest made by Randy of Accu-Shot. Steve B. confirmed it was Randy's.
