webber Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I made mine, but do have access to a fully equiped workshop. I don't know of any commercially available, but thats not to say that they don't exist. Maybe you could ask around your mate to see who has a small mig welder and the skill to use it. Alternativly, September is just around the corner. That when most night school classes start; find a suitable course, enrole, bingo. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poole Harbour Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I have just designed one that will fit the front rack , is adjustable and can be removed in seconds . I took the drawing to a local metal fabricator who is welding it up for me then off to be powder coated . It will not cost anywhere near those advertised . I hope to have it back in a couple of weeks and I will post some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudu Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Here's a picture of my rest. They're quite simple to make/get made. Mine has had a couple of up grades including the rear bar and the 12v supply. It's as good as shooting from a bench rest. Shame you're not closer as I could make you one. http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae171/Fox121/Feb10001.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
