[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 211385, member: 10"] I am suprised you have had so many complaints with the Caldwell BR mechanical rest. I have had mine for a few years now and it has been used HARD with rifles from 8 lb sporters up to 65 lb monsters. It has riden in the back of the truck for thousands of miles and always has performed extremely well. I did however take the rest apart and cleaned and coated the main worm screw with heavy moly grease. I also replaced the bag that came on the rest with several of the extra bag options you can get for the rest and they work much better. When you say the rest is not put together well, I simply do not understand what you could mean unless they have really changed things. Details please. When you say the elevation and windage adjustments do not function well, what does that mean again. The elevation screw does not turn? More details why your rest does not work. personally I think they are a steel and will buy another one when this one wears out if it ever does which I do not expect anytime soon. [/QUOTE]
