Ha ha… got mine today as well.
4 days from Indonesia. Wow.
Ironically the two of us live maybe ten miles apart, shoot at the same club, and did not know the other had ordered the rest.

I think they are around $700-$800. The front metal is a counter weight. He designed them specifically for 22’s. No smaller stock widths right now though. Will be curious to see how they like them. Considered getting one myself. Will have to try Ralph’s.

I had an original NEO that I never fell in love with. The size and weight of this one caught my eye.
Same. I have had two Mini-X’s but they require a big footprint on a bench and were just a bit awkward for me in general with the folding legs. Like the size of this. Time will tell on weight but can always add a plate underneath if it becomes an issue.

Ordered yesterday and he said mine will ship Wed as well. Needed something to shoot Sporter on should I ever make it to an actual IR match.
 
I am interested in one of these also and would love to use it on my centerfire also. If anyone tries one on there centerfire please post your opinion
Thanks!

the rest is specifically designed for air rifles and rimfire. Christopher makes this very clear.
The rest has been to the range and two of the people I regularly shoot Rimfire benchrest with are benchrest centerfire participants. (I am not)
Do not think they would even consider using the rest for centerfire.

Just back from my local 50 meter range after 2nd test of the AR250. The results on target same as my MINI X. Nice and smooth, very stable. At 77 years, I love the light weight, portability and ease of set up. However, if I was still shooting Centrefire benchrest, I would use a NEO. My Mini X is off to new home this afternoon.
