Vanguard Steady-Aim Rifle Bench Rest review

What a bargain! Sure you can spend 3-4 times as much (or even more) for a better rest, but this ain't bad at all. Haven't shot with it yet, but I can tell this is a sturdy rifle rest and I talk about it here. It can even hold tactical, mag fed rifles with pistol grips if you don't put a high-cap mag in. I'm not affiliated with this company in any way, just want to let others know how great of a deal this rest is. Seems like a steal. Check out vanguardworld.com or some of their videos here on youtube if you want to see more.

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!

(That's it from me)

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.

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.

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.

I want nothing but the best. I think this review is nothing but the best for this low end rest. Thumbs up for you !

[MamoDad]

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.

Good information, thank you.

It's nice to see someone who will admit they are not an expert.

[braininahat]

Oh. I did have one question. It looks like the rifle would sit a little high when using this on a bench. Has that been your experience?
