Allen 2458 Soft Rock Shooting Rest Black Foam Front And Rear Bag

The Allen Company Soft Rock Shooting Rest is a front and rear bag combo built for shooters who need stable, portable support without the weight or bulk. Whether you're zeroing a hunting rifle on the bench, shooting from a blind, or setting up on a truck hood, this two-piece rest system gives you the adjustability and cushioning that makes the difference between a good group and a great one. At just 3.5 ounces, it's light enough to throw in your range bag or pack into a hunting blind, yet solid enough to hold your rifle steady through string after string.

Made from closed-cell foam, the Soft Rock design balances stiffness with forgiveness—firm enough to resist shifting under recoil, soft enough to nest safely on vehicle hoods, fence posts, and benches without marring surfaces. The moisture-resistant foam won't absorb water or degrade in wet conditions, so it performs as reliably in a humid hunting blind as it does at a summer range session. The two-piece configuration gives you the flexibility to dial in your shooting position: the front bag offers two height options (4.5 and 6.5 inches), while the rear bag sits at a fixed 3-inch height to properly cradle the buttstock.

Hunters and varmint shooters have long favored front-and-rear rest combos for their simplicity and repeatability, and the Soft Rock delivers that classic functionality in a package so light you'll forget you're carrying it. No screws, no tools, no complicated setup—just set it where you're shooting and get behind the rifle. It's the kind of straightforward gear that works just as well at the kitchen-table range session as it does in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this shooting rest on a truck hood or other vehicle surface?

Yes. The soft foam construction is designed to rest on truck hoods, vehicle beds, fence posts, and benches without scratching or marring surfaces. It's stiff enough to provide solid support but forgiving enough to be gun-safe on finished surfaces.

What heights does the front rest offer?

The front rest provides two adjustable heights: 4.5 inches and 6.5 inches. The rear rest is fixed at 3 inches. This allows you to dial in different sight-in positions or shooting angles depending on your setup and firearm.

Is this rest suitable for hunting applications?

Yes. The Soft Rock combo is popular in hunting blinds, from vehicle rests, and field shooting situations. Its lightweight design (3.5 ounces) and weather-resistant foam make it practical for hunting seasons and varied outdoor conditions.

Will the foam hold up in wet weather?

The closed-cell foam is moisture-resistant and won't absorb water, so it performs reliably in wet conditions. However, avoid exposing the foam to excessive heat, as it can melt at high temperatures.
