Steady Rest NXT Adjustable

I'll give this 5 stars, because it's cheap, does the job, and should last a while if gently used. Inside the box are all the parts and detailed assembly instructions, which include photographs (that's a refreshing change). Out of all the parts, I had 2 small issues when putting it together. 1. One of the included screws had no head. Obviously, they are mass-produced. I replaced that screw with one of my own, no biggie, and it's not worth taking a star off for that. 2. When connecting the (green) bridge between the front and rear rest, the rear bolts would not thread. I thought I had a problem, but I switched the bridge around (180 degrees), now the front was the back, the back the front, and all 4 bolts fitted nicely. Bear that in mind. Don't force anything to fit; this isn't made out of metal, it's 100% plastic. Once assembled, I rested my rifle, and it was a good fit. I'm using this for air rifles, so it shouldn't be a problem with recoil. Given the quality of plastics used, I expect this to last a while. I would recommend this product. (As for the negative reviews, remember, this was under $40! You're saving a lot of money and this product still does it's job well).

This shooting rest was a game changer for me I prefer shooting off this restoration then my standard bag rests i would normally use to shoot but now that I bought this restoration, I would use this over the bags any day.

The Caldwell steady rest NXT offers good quality at a small price. Worked great At shooting range. Was steady. Adjusted easily. Was easy to install the six screws to put it together yet I would have preferred it came already put together. Looks a bit flimsy but works nicely. The light weight is a big plus for me. I had to pad the underside bridge edges as they were sharp enough to possibly cut oneself when carrying it holding the bridge area. Rounded edges all around the bottom would eliminate the cutting self problem. Overall the rest is a good buy for me. Better than my sand bags and much easier to adjust. Don't abuse this rest and should serve one well for years. Happy shooting.

For the money, this rest will get the scope zeroed in. It is very light weight and disassembles into small enough pieces that it fits in the range bag.

I brought this for my brother to sight in a Ruger 10/22 for his son's first range day. We were all pretty surprised when the front rest cracked and fell apart after not very much use.. We all have plenty of Caldwell products with zero complaints. Seems like a great company, but I can't believe a .22 could (Okay, it was a Stinger round :p ) damage this even though its flimsy considering other higher end (metal) models.. And, thus, appropriately priced. Amazon was great and gave me a fast refund since it was within the return period. I've never gone direct to Caldwell, but from what I have heard, they probably would have remedied the problem. I don't believe in 1 Star reviews unless a company completely fails with a product and customer service, which I cannot state. Due to so many positive reviews, I'm going to give it a "3"... Sometime you just get a bad production run.

It works great for my .22LR; it helps with zeroing it in and cleaning.

Cheap made and lots on peices But will work for what I need it for

It works as advertised and is a good value for the money. It's just has more plastic than I expected. It's worth the money.
