Best Hunting & Shooting Gun Holders of 2025

"I found this sled to be perfect for sighting in my rifles. It was easy to set up and once I added a bag of sand, it worked even better for small bores. A little bit more stability would be nice, but overall, I'm satisfied."

"At almost 78 years old, I used this sled for a 100-yard practice session and achieved a 1.098 three-shot group under less-than-ideal conditions. This lead sled provided the accuracy and security I needed when installing scopes."

"I bought this sled to help me zero in my optics. While the vice is a bit low to the ground, it’s still a great lightweight product with a simple design. I'm happy with my purchase and would buy it again."

“I was looking for something inexpensive but sturdy for scope alignment, and this product exceeded my expectations. I'm very happy with it.”

“The Caldwell shooting rest has a simple, functional design that works well. It's not high-end, which I expected for the price. I did have to replace the cheap 'C' clip on the Ram Tension Knob, though.”

“I finally used this to sight in my .308 and was really surprised at how well it worked. It will definitely pay for itself by reducing the shots fired to zero with the new scope.”

"I was pleasantly surprised by the Caldwell Stinger. Despite its Chinese origin, the quality exceeded my expectations. The assembly was straightforward, and the instructions were clear, which is often not the case with products from there. I love how rock solid yet lightweight it is, and the micrometer-like adjustments are a dream to use. I use it for various rifles and it really excels, especially with my Spring-Piston air rifles."

"As a hobbyist who enjoys precision shooting, I appreciate this rest for its great price point and the solid quality of Caldwell products. The split bar sled design allows for longer magazines, which is a plus for my AR platform. The wide front feet provide stability, and the adjustments work well. It’s also versatile enough to assist with minor armory tasks, making it a valuable addition to my shooting setup."

"I'm really happy with the Stinger. The movable front ramp accommodates different stock styles, and the quick fine-tuning elevation is a fantastic feature. It feels sturdy with its wide legs, providing a solid platform for any rifle, even those with high-capacity magazines. Although it’s a bit on the heavier side, I think it’s worth every penny."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the materials and design of this product. It’s all metal, with a nice thick fabric. The barrel rest secures tightly, and the adjustment wheel works well for fine-tuning elevation. Just a heads up: it doesn’t ship with sand, and there’s no stop on the adjustment wheel, which could be a hassle for lighter rifles, but overall, I’m very satisfied given the price."

"I found this shooting rest to be solidly built. Adjustments are easy and stay in place. I filled the bags with walnut tumbling media for lightweight flexibility. I let my nephew shoot at 300 yards, and the rest held up beautifully, making his day as he hit the target every time without needing to adjust it. Highly recommend this product!"

"Using this adjustable shooting rest for bench rest shooting has been great. It provides a stable platform for long-range shots. However, I find the rear bag rest a bit too small and low for solid support, so I’ll need to modify it. Still, I believe it’s a good buy for the price."

"I assembled this in 43 minutes and took it to the range right away. At first, I thought I was missing a screw, but it turned out to be already in place. The assembly was straightforward, and I found it easy to check my scope adjustments. The Lead Sled held my rifle steady without any wobble, and I had no issues with recoil. It's a bit heavy, but it feels sturdy and well-made."

"As a frequent shooter, I appreciate the stability this Lead Sled offers. It's perfect for zeroing my rifles and checking groups. The adjustable features allow me to adapt it for different firearms. I recommend it for anyone serious about their shooting practice. Durable finish and easy-to-turn knobs make it user-friendly."

"Es ideal para poner rifles a tiro, realmente una maravilla. La calidad del producto es evidente, y aunque el precio es un poco elevado, creo que vale la pena por su durabilidad."

"With over 60 years of firearm experience, I purchased this rest to zero my PCP air rifle for an iguana issue in Florida. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality; it’s not fancy but well made and more than adequate for my needs. I would recommend it to most shooters, especially given its low cost."

"Although I'm not experienced with these devices, I rate this rifle rest at 99%. It was easy to assemble and adjust; it feels sturdy and stable. I used some Bungy Cords for extra stability, and I believe it’s a great value for the money."

"I was searching for an inexpensive metal unit to sight in my night scope. Putting it together was simple, and it works great. So far, there are no issues, and it seems sturdy enough for my needs."

"I found this rest to be great for sighting in my rifles, including heavier calibers. The weight tray is perfect for holding magazines and other items, and it remains solid and stable during use."

"Using the Lead Sled Solo has been a game changer for me. I was able to sight in my Howa 1500 rifle with minimal recoil and achieved MOA groups after just a couple of rounds. It’s definitely worth the investment!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by the sturdiness of this rest. I tested it with a .243 Rem and found it to be solid and reliable without needing extra weights. I'm really happy with this purchase!"

"I wanted to improve my shooting game, and these bags have become my new best friends. They cradle my rifle perfectly, making it feel like I'm in a movie. Suddenly, my accuracy skyrocketed, and they even sparked some fun conversations with friends at the range. I named them 'Steady Steve' and 'Balance Betty'. Highly recommend these for anyone looking for stability and a bit of humor during shooting!"

"I needed a stable base for my air rifles, and these bags fit the bill. They hold my rifle securely and maintain their shape well. Filling them was a bit of a project, though—it took around 20,000 Airsoft BBs to get it just right. So far, I've had no issues with the stitching, and I'm impressed with the quality for the price."

"I was excited to find these affordable shooting bags. The larger bag was easy to fill, but the smaller one was a little tricky. Unfortunately, it started leaking sand from the stitching. I guess you get what you pay for, as the quality seems to reflect the price."

"For the price, this gun rest worked well. I used it to sight in three red dots on my handguns out to 50 yards. It’s lightweight and sturdy, and I would buy it again."

"I was skeptical about this inexpensive pistol rest, but it features great vertical and horizontal adjustments. It worked well for sighting my pistols, including the CZ Shadow II and Sig P365XL."

"I love how adjustable this rest is, and it provides a solid surface for sighting my handgun. It’s much better than those sandbag rests I’ve tried."

"I was surprised by how well this lightweight and affordable shooting rest performed. It was easy to put together and did the job for my 9mm carbine. For the price, it's a great value!"

"I really appreciate the excellent customer service from MTM. When I received my shooting rest, one part was missing, but they responded quickly and sent me the part right away. It's nice to see a company that stands behind its products!"
