The X-REST by Montie Design is available in 4 different variations. The Original, X-Rest lightweight, AR-REST, and the AR-REST Lightweight. I first came across the X-rest while looking for a bi pod adapter for our long term review of the Bushmaster ACR. I came accross a new Magpul grip that fit directly onto the Magpul hand guard so now all I needed was a portable shooting rest that wasn’t clunky or heavy. The X-REST by Montie Design fit the bill very well.
For people who don’t really care for the shooting rests offered at their local shooting range the X-Rest is an option worth looking at. The AR-Rest placed the rifle stock about 9.5 inches from the top of the shooting surface which allows for proper clearance for high capacity magazines. The AR-REST comes in at only 18.5 ounces. Its perfect as it allows lots of space for my new fore grip and anything else i plan to add in the future. If you are on the go and need something a bit lighter the AR-REST lightweight comes in at only 12.1 ounces but we think that the lighter weight may increase gun hop when you fire.
It’s more stable than your standard bi pod as the X-REST acts as a Tripod. It deploys quickly after assembled and it’s easy to carry in our range bag.

I must be a really cheap b**&&^%^^%rd, because I need one of these and I hesitate because of the price. It’s nice – and I know it’s a sweet piece of gear – but dang. When I’m shooting a $200 rifle I just can’t bring myself to buy a$50 shooting rest. I know, I’m not the target market for the X-Rest but ….

reply to this commentI agree. these look too basic to be spending 50-80 buck for it.
Wow. These actually look really nice and I bet they’re very well made. However, I bet if they were made out of polycarbonate or cut from some kind of durable plastic they’d be ALMOST as durable, way lighter and about a tenth the price.
I’m interested in all of these but I’d never pay that much for stand like this. Sandbags, shooting bags and that sort of thing are just fine for me when compared to something this expensive.
