Caldwell 574662 Handy Rest NXT Adjustable Gun Rest for Precision Shooting and Hunting

The Caldwell Handy Rest NXT adjustable gun rest is a field-proven workhorse for shooters who need solid, repeatable accuracy without breaking the bank or your back. Whether you're zeroing a new rifle, dialing in loads at the range, or preparing for a hunting season, this front rest delivers the stability that separates honest groups from wishful thinking. It's built tough enough for serious precision work yet light and portable enough to throw in the truck bed or pack to your favorite spot.

What makes the Handy Rest NXT genuinely useful is its flexibility. The adjustable elevation mechanism gives you six feet of height correction at 100 yards—enough range to dial in everything from a .22 to a magnum without having to prop up cinder blocks or reshape your bench. The front rest features a removable handgun support attachment, so a single tool handles both rifle and pistol work. No separate purchase needed, no cluttered bench. Just swap the attachment and you're ready for pistol sight-in or competition practice.

Construction focuses on what actually matters in the field: a lightweight frame that won't punish you on a long hike, and a shooting surface made from material that coddles your firearm instead of marring it. The integrated sling stud clearance groove means you can use this rest with your rifle as-is—no need to remove slings or get creative with tape. It's the kind of detail that tells you Caldwell understands how real shooters set up their guns.
