The Caldwell Rock Deluxe Shooting Rest & Rear Bag Combo is a heavy, precision-focused bench rest system designed to deliver maximum stability and repeatable accuracy when zeroing rifles or testing loads.
Built on a cast iron base, the Rock provides a solid, vibration-resistant platform that helps eliminate movement and reduce shooter input. The wide footprint and adjustable feet allow the rest to be levelled securely on almost any bench surface.
A steel elevation post with fine adjustment control allows precise height changes while staying on aim, making it easy to dial in your point of impact during zeroing.
The front cradle is fitted with a filled medium varmint bag, while this combo also includes a rear shooting bag, giving a complete front and rear support setup straight out of the box.
