Sighter Cam or speed screw

I aggree with pete...
But if say a Farley is a bit outta yer price range..., I'd go for the sighter cam. Though I've never used one personally..., a fellow shooter I know used one for a couple of years an found it easier to go from sighter to record just that much faster with a SC as opposed to a speed screw.
Just my two cents

A speed screw works just fine

Well...ya know FB
if you use a slightly modified Dunrud cam, you have the best of both worlds.
I would suggest you get a Dunrud sighter cam NO MATTER whether you are shooting group or score. Best $95 I ever spent. Twice. For both rests

How does it work? I'm not educated in thread technology and don't understand how it "screws" faster?
Thank you all for your help,
PS I would love a toggle rest and will have one someday.
The thread follows a spiral that is so fast that it doesn't pass itself close enough to form a crest ("V"). The thread will have multiple starts at the ends of the parts that engage one another........picture 2 or 3 threads side-by-side, kind of like a barber pole.
Man, that was hard to explain........If only I could have waved my hands around...

You might change your mind. Everyone plays the game their own way and sometimes, things work better for someone else then they do for you.
I started shooting a co-axial rest (or toggle or joystick or whatever you want to call it) because they were the "in" thing and then switched back to a regular windage top pedestal rest with a speed screw.
When I was using the co-axial, I found it so easy to go from the record to the sighter that I was shooting lots of sighters when I should have been shooting records. When I went to the speed screw, I found that it forced me to watch the flags better and run 'em when I should have. Also, I noticed that while the co-axial is very quick in point of aim acquisition, it requires you to hold the joystick motionless when firing. This kind of "catch 22ed" the quickness of it because it took just a bit of concentration and time to do this instead of just letting the rest "rest" your gun and firing like a machine gun when needed.
So pick what YOU like and don't let anybody tell you that there is a hard fast rule in this game that applies to everyone 'CAUSE THERE AIN'T!

Some of the best
shooters I know don't use any of that. They are bag squeezrers and hold their rifles. They don't use front stops on their rests, using the angle in the butstock for elevation. I have tried it in practice and found the method to be a good one although I don't use it.
