Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between the BenchMaster USA X-Block and Perfect Shot shooting rests?

The X-Block is a lightweight, portable foam rest ideal for budget shooters, weighing under six ounces. The Perfect Shot is a heavier, all-steel construction rest offering greater stability and adjustability, with features like a quick-release center tube and cammed wheels for leveling.

Is the BenchMaster USA X-Block suitable for pistol shooting?

Yes, the X-Block can be used for pistols, but it's recommended to have a light on the firearm. Without a light, muzzle blast can cause burn marks on the foam, potentially reducing the rest's lifespan.

What makes the BenchMaster USA Perfect Shot shooting rest versatile?

The Perfect Shot is versatile as it can be used for both rifles and pistols (by turning the saddle sideways). It also offers significant magazine clearance, accommodating a full 30-round magazine even at its lowest setting.

How does the BenchMaster USA Perfect Shot handle uneven surfaces?

The Perfect Shot features cammed rubber 'wheels' on both the front and rear cross tubes. These allow for approximately one inch of left-to-right adjustment, enabling the user to level the rest on uneven tables or ground.
