About LionWorks Engineering

From the family behind SEB Rests.

A front rest is a simple-looking object that has to do one difficult thing: hold a rifle exactly where you put it, shot after shot. That is the whole of our work.

LionWorks Engineering workshop

LionWorks Engineering was founded by Christopher Lionel, son of the maker behind SEB Rests — the name that defined benchrest front rests for a generation.

Growing up around that workshop meant learning the craft the slow way: which tolerances matter to a shooter and which only matter on a drawing, and why a rest that measures perfectly can still feel wrong under a rifle.

LionWorks carries that knowledge forward under its own name. From our workshop in Surabaya, Indonesia, every rest is checked by hand before it ships.

The people behind them

A small workshop. You are usually talking to the person who built your rest.

Christopher Lionel

Founder

Learned the craft in the workshop behind SEB Rests, and checks every LionWorks rest by hand in Surabaya before it ships.

01

We believe perfection is a myth.

02

We believe in the relentless pursuit of the ideal.

03

We believe excellence is built through ingenuity and attention to detail.

What we make

Two front rests, built around two different problems. Everything else we make exists to fit one of them to your rifle.

AR250 Named for Air Rifle, Rimfire and the perfect WRABF score of 250. Built for rimfire and air rifle benchrest, light enough to travel with. See the AR250 Trident Wider base, more mass, stainless steel where it counts. Built around centerfire recoil, and folds down to travel like the AR250. See the Trident

How we work

The same terms wherever you shoot — Ohio, Perth or Milan.

Checked by handEvery rest is checked by hand before it ships, and dispatched in around seven working days.
One price, paid onceShipping, duties and taxes are already in the price. Nothing further is charged when the parcel arrives.
Two-year warrantyAgainst defects in craftsmanship, from the day we ship.
A person answersAsk us which rest or which bag before you order. We would far rather help you choose than take one back.

The proof is on the scorecards.

We could tell you our rests are good. It carries more weight coming from the shooters who won on them.
