Caldwell The Rock Junior Front Rifle Rest
The Caldwell The Rock Junior Front Rifle Rest is basically a smaller, lighter version of Caldwell’s Rock series, designed to give you solid bench stability for zeroing rifles and shooting groups without the bulk or price of the full-sized competition rests. It uses a cast iron Y-base (about 4.75 lb total weight) with interchangeable feet (rubber or steel spikes) so it stays steady on different bench surfaces. The steel centre post gives smooth height adjustment from about 4.5" to 7.25", controlled by a fingertip dial so you can fine-tune elevation without lifting the rifle. It also comes with a medium front bag included, and it’s compatible with other universal Caldwell front bags if you want to swap setups later. It’s basically a compact, stable “range bench” rest that sits between simple bag setups and full competition-grade systems.
