There is a tiny bit of play in the joints when you wobble it around on your kitchen table, but when shooting, it is SUPER stable and allows for a HEAP of adjustment. The elevation adjustment can be very finely tuned and re-acquisition of the target is easy.
I wish it had some sort of windage adjustment, but I would say that is asking too much for the price. I found turning the rear soft rubber foot left or right would give me the fine windage needed.

boy,some people on here writeing things scare me,too think they have guns lol jeeze.as for that rest your gonna find out that it has too much movement
Pretty good review for the most part but dude, why the heck do you insert what looks very much like a loaded magazine into your Saiga and then move the safety lever to the FIRE position?
That's just nuts and pretty damn irresponsible to show on a video.
Not the best practice I agree but the bolt was forward so he never chambered a round. He almost did once the rifle was on the rest but I think he realized it and short-stroked it when he pulled the bolt rearward. Also the rounds may have been dummies, a fact that he should have pointed out if that was the case.
Although a great review overall, I agree that the demo should have been done with an empty mag.
Thanks for good review. I'll definitely check out the rear Y-holder before buying it, which was not explained if the Yoke could be narrowed, to hold the stock securely.
Before buying it I was concerned that it would hold the rifle too high, but it sit PERFECTLY in my shoulder.
Thanks to the -5 degree angle, I can also use it as a gun vice for cleaning. This way, no solvents etc will drop back into the trigger group/action.
I highly recommend this rest. It's awesome!

I bought one of these, and it's awesome!
I wanted something to help access the accuracy of my new rifle and find what ammo it likes to 'eat'.
My verdict (after about 160 rounds of .308) - It totally delivered!...and It is way more rest than I expected!
I find the quality is superb and well worth the money.

Good information, thank you.
It's nice to see someone who will admit they are not an expert.
