I went with a caldwell lead sled fcx. Wouldn't do it again. Lot of money down the drain. The swivel arm is a great idea but in practice, it's too herky jerky when tight enough to support the rifle, and the rifle pushes it down if the swivel arm is loose enough to be effective. Even the butt holder portion I find to be useless. When used, shots opened up like a porn stars legs!
I made it effective by disassembling the unit and just using the front rest and then a rear bag. Works great. I also disconnect the swivel and just use the elevation knob and elevation lock knob.
Think it would be cheaper to use bags.... Or get a good adjustable front rest with a bag in the rear.
These are the results I'm getting with this setup... But I think there are better and more cost effective options out there. My bad on the flyer
. It was the last shot of a 6 shot group and I was getting excited about the group I was seeing.... And I spoiled it! Lol

Big 5 just had a sale of a set of two Caldwell bags. That's what I use now!

That exactly what I was thinking. Then again it's a pretty simple answer for me I guess, bipod & bag. I don't own a bench or typically use one.
