Rear Screw Windage Adjustment
Here is how I did mine. Pretty simple. A cable from McMaster Carr and a home made bracket. Not sure if it is precise enough for you Benchresters, but works great for an F-Class hacker like myself.

Here in Hawaii where I live, I would love to attend a real benchrest match.
But that ain't very likely, so how about a video that could explain some of the intricacies, methods and so on?
Or is there one?

Rear Screw Windage Set-up
Lynn,
I did not turn my rest around because I bought a left-handed windage top (i.e. work the windage screw with the right hand). If one already has a top, then you either turn it around, or get the opposite hand top.
This set-up is quite common in F-class. Most windage tops have a 1/4" diameter screw with a knob for the windage adjustment, which is correct for the cable from McMaster Carr. Then just figure a way to mount the end near the rear screw. I chose a cable with a bulkhead fitting and made a bracket. I have seen it done a number of different ways.
One word of advice is that the cable "likes" to be routed in a smooth, constant radius. Otherwise, the cable flexes too much when twisting in the "lower torque" direction.
My wife and I used to shoot off of Farleys, but switched to this set-up. We like this better.

By the way, I shoot F-class at Sac. In fact, I will be there this Sunday. Which one of those Sac F-class scoundrels you talking about......Peter White.
