The is a great rest. It is sturdy and easy to use. Compared to the other Caldwell rest the price is lower but the quality is just as good. Worked well with my Marlin 30-30 and also my shotguns. Good product

The Solo was purchased to allow me to evaluate custom AR 15 barrels for use in long range matches. It is compact and was easy to assemble. Portability is excellent and does not take up a large amount of space when heading to the range. The construction of the rest itself is excellent. All welds were well penetrated and the powder coating shows excellent coverage. I wish I had bought this one a year ago.

Great for the occasional shooter/bore sighter. Really reduces the recoil of my 7mm Mag.

Good product, very sturdy and useful for sighting in guns. Unfortunately you have to get your own weights.

Good rest for guns, including AR-15 type. I could remove AR-15 30 round clip when in rest with 2 inch or less 25 lb weight. Sighting: My AR-15 needed a wood block at bottom of rest where gun stock sets in the rest to accomodate a level gun. No problem with my other guns had enough rise from stock bottom to barrel rest. Would have been nice if the rest had magnetic levels but I added levels. The stock should have a holding adjustment at the stock mounting slot to maintain gun vertical position for level. The barrel hold down strap doesn't accomplish vertical hold. Shooting: With flat type 2" or less 25 lb weight worked good up to 30 caliber guns, including mags.
