Caldwell Stinger Adjustable Rifle Shooting Rest – Precision Target & Hunting Support

The Caldwell Stinger Adjustable Rifle Shooting Rest is a purpose-built bench rest designed to dial in your rifle's accuracy with precision and speed. Whether you're zeroing a new scope, load testing at the range, or fine-tuning a hunting rifle before season, the Stinger delivers rock-solid stability and versatile adjustment in a straightforward, no-nonsense package. Its dual metal frame and rigid steel tube construction hold everything steady while you focus on shot placement—no creep, no wobble, no compromises.

What sets the Stinger apart is its thoughtful elevation system. The spring-loaded front adjustment knob lets you make coarse height corrections with one hand, fast and intuitive. Once you're in the ballpark, the fingertip-controlled fine elevation dial lets you dial in clicks as small as your load demands. The molded front and rear cradles are designed to cradle your rifle without marring its finish—a detail that matters whether you're resting a $500 rifle or a heirloom. Heavy-duty cam locks on the front rest let you slide it fore and aft to set the right length, then lock it down solid.

The Stinger handles virtually any rifle configuration. Its lateral adjustment accommodates rifles with standard or extended magazines, lever actions, and variations in forend width. You get real adjustment range—3 inches of front elevation, 1 inch of rear elevation, and 3.5 inches of lateral fit—so you can dial in your exact shooting position without jury-rigging solutions. It's the kind of rest that earns its place in the range bag or the reloading bench because it works the same way every time you need it.
