I am a newbie to this site. I am looking for a quality bench rest to use at the range. I would like to not break the bank, but if I have to to get quality, then I will.

Are you looking for a front rest for your rifle?

A quality rest that won't break the bank ...
You might take a look at the Cowan Front Rest. Here is Joe Cowan's email address and phone number: jcowan1@aasdcat.com, 814-946-8450 X1235. A couple of us at the Austin Rifle Club have Joe's rest and find it to be extremely stable and a great value; $210.00 includes shipping. Joe's also a nice person to deal with. The picture in this attachment shows the rest in Red. It's actually gold, silver, and black and does not include the Sinclair speed screw shown.
The windage-adjustable front rest is made in the machine shop at the Altoona Area High School Career and Technology Center. Many shooters call it the 'Cowan Rest'. Joe Cowan is the instructor for the Altoona HS program. These excellent tripod rests have been sold world-wide, with all proceeds going back to the students. This program and what the students have done with some of the money is worth a story by itself. The Cowen Rest ia a very nice design--stable and easy to adjust, and you know your money will be going into a worthy endeavor.

With the Cowan you get a very nice rest inexpensively and you lend support to a great program.
CowanRest@yahoo.com is his email I believe.

The Caldwell rests are OK for casual shooting, but if you plan on getting into Benchrest competition you need a good quality rest. There are quite a few from about $200 up to $XXX
