CaldwellTackDriver Bag - Filled

just got the Caldwell ZeroMax Shooting Rest a couple days ago, and I’ve already taken it to the range twice to sight in a new scope on my AR-15 and zero my old .22 rifle. Man, what a game-changer! This thing is super sturdy with its steel frame—it doesn’t budge at all, even with heavier recoil. The filled front bag and padded rear hold the rifle perfectly without scratching the stock, and I love how easy it is to make those fine elevation and windage tweaks. Zeroing went so much faster and more consistently than fussing with sandbags like I used to. It’s lightweight enough to toss in the truck, and setup takes literally minutes. For the price, it’s hard to beat—way more reliable than cheaper alternatives I’ve tried. If you’re tired of inconsistent groups when sighting in, grab this. Totally worth five stars!

Build quality is awesome cause it functions smoother than I expected. Size is perfect and very stable. Adjustment for bipod, quick, easy and steady. Definitely fits Harris Kryptek Highlander 13.5-27" Bipod S-25C-Camo.

This is a pretty stable shooting platform. I received mine today and found that it requires some work and creativity to make this a useful product. However, I have found that to be true of the many products I have that a from China. In many cases, a few sense more cents spent in manufacturing would make them outstanding products. Ultimately, as in this case, that activity falls on the buyer. My particular shooting platform has two front, threaded 1/8 x 16 screws for adjusting platform altitude. They arrived very stiff and one of them would not move without my using channel locks to break the screw free. Fortunately, my home workshop as a tap and die set, so I was able to remove the adjustment screws and run a 1/8-16 tap through the holes to 'ream out' the channel nuts that these posts screw into. The nuts are coated for, I think, acting as self-locking or restraining nuts so that the screws have a more secure fit. Unfortunately, the fit is TOO secure. I did not have a 1/8-16 die so I could not re-thread the screws to make them fun smoothly. I used my wire-wheel brush to do the job of cleaning the threads. They now adjust reasonably smoothly after applying machine oil to the screws. Otherwise, assembly is easy and the platform is really solid and stable. I shoot PCP airguns, so I don't have to deal with the recoil of a firearm. My next step will be to make a rear altitude adjust. The rear butt holder is fixed. I plan to drill an appropriate diameter hole and tap it to 5/16-18 (more standard in the US) and then use a 5/16-18 threaded 4 inch long bolt to use as an adjust a few inches from the rear butt post. I have threaded knobs from my ham radio shack that I can secure to the threaded bolt to provide rear vertical adjustments. Beyond that, we'll see where we go from there. I do recommend this Caldwell as a very stable shooting platform. it's a great deal for the price. Especially if you are a little handy with tools. I would have given it a 5 star rating except for the additional work that is needed, minor though it may be. Additional Note: Here is some additional information to update my previous review of the Caldwell Shooting rest. The stud feet on the platform are metric M10, which is a fairly common thread in Europe and Asia. Amazon carries stud spacers in M10 that worked out very well to extend the rear non-adjustable stud and make it an adjustable support. I ordered a 5 pack in 2 inch size and used one on the rear support. I also filed down a Teflon pad and screwed it into the bottom of this extension. The M10 at Amazon is (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K3M1KF5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). Two additional mods involved reversing the front bar with the two legs by moving it from below the long bar to on top of the long bar, which essentially lowers the top rest. That change, coupled with the adjustable M10 extender was perfect for holding my Hatsan Nova QE at the correct height. To provide a little extra leeway, I constructed a shooting platform with the front support 3 inches high and the rear support 2 inches high to level the shooting rest while allowing plenty of adjustment for the assembly. I will provide some photos.

For what it is, it's pretty good. It will help steady your shot placement for groups.

Seems to work as it should. Adjustable

Works pretty good. It is not one of the high-dollar professional benches but for an average guy it works pretty well and is budget friendly.

The knob on the Harris is ridiculous. You can’t get it tight enough. This solves that and it s less than buying it from Harris

Beat shooting of bags any day. Recommend

注文通りの品物でした。

Bought as a gift for my aging father. He loves it for sighting in his rifles and keeping the gun steady for target shooting.

Ein ausgezeichnetes und solide vearbeites Produkt, das keine Wünsche offen lässt. Passt perfekt für mein Pressluft-Gewehr. Preis-/Leistung ist unschlagbar!

Utilisé pour bloquer mon bipied Caldwell Pivot….. qui pivotait, comme son nom l’indique. Simple a monter, en 5 minutes c’est installé. Je recommande quand même de démonter le bipied de l’arme, pour être à l’aise. Le Pivot Lock est tout en plastique, les mâchoires intérieures le paraissent bien fragile. Attention donc à ne pas forcer au montage, et surtout, je pense qu’une fois qu’il est bloqué, il ne faut pas s’amuser a le desserrer et le resserrer toutes les cinq minutes. Bon, après, c’est 20 balles… ça fera le boulot le temps que je me paye un beau bipied fixe!

Como apoyo sirve para limpieza del arma, como banco de tiro también sirve pero no para calibrar una mira o visor, inestable ante el disparo y movilidad en su hase
