9. Amazon — Caldwell The Rock Jr. Front Shooting Rest, $35.19

⏺ Low-cost rest works for young shooters and as back-up varminting rest

Simple and light can be good. When teaching youngsters to shoot or when sighting in a hunting rig, this Caldwell Rock Jr. Rest may be all you need. Weighing under 5.5 pounds, this compact rest is easy to set up. It offers 7.75″ vertical adjustment. One verified buyer states: “After lugging [a heavy front rest] to and from the range a few times I realized it was just too big and heavy for what I really needed. This little rest is inexpensive, yet it’s ideal for sighting-in firearms and airguns, and for informal shooting. A hint: Lubricate the elevation screw and the thrust washer that sits under the elevation wheel with a dab of lithium grease, and your adjustments will be smoother and easier.”
