Aim With Precision Shoot with Confidence

A front rest specially designed for benchrest rimfire and air rifle shooting, the AR250 takes its name from Air Rifle, Rimfire, and the perfect score of 250 according to WRABF competitions. Balancing mobility, performance, and cost, this rest features a rigid, extendable central post for 360-degree swing and two elevation adjustment systems for rapid and smooth height changes.

It provides a stable shooting platform for precision shooting, ensuring accurate and repeatable results. The versatile design makes it suitable for various shooting disciplines and is crafted to meet the demands of competitive shooters. The AR250 joystick travel is designed to be able to cover most target paper from WRABF to NRA/ARA at various shooting distances (25-100yrd & 25-100m). Fitted with an adjustable counterweight system for smooth joystick action, the newly designed top plate secures the custom front bag firmly in place with minimal play. The AR250 comes in 3 options according to your choice of front bag size—2 1⁄4 inches, 3 inches, or both.

"I would never go back"

I love the rest. I'm 76 years old and really struggle with those heavy f-class rests. I had a JoyPod before this, and I really liked it, but after trying the AR250, I would never go back. The AR250 is solid without excessive weight and the action is ultra smooth with plenty of travel. The only problem I had was finding a way to securely hold a 1.5" chassis. After trying numerous hacks, I 3D printed a custom "bag" that works great. I couldn't be more pleased. The rest is perfect.

"The machine work is beautiful"

This is my first joystick rest and does take some adjustment on my part. The machine work is beautiful, and my only concern was it did feel unstable at times the extension kit should solve that. I'm shooting a 7 lb sporter and a 10 lb .22 rimfire benchrest.

"The quality of the rest looks so good"

My AR250 arrived today. I do have one small complaint though the quality of the rest looks so good that my wife didn't believe me when I told her it wasn't too expensive. I'm really looking forward to using it.

"Really a great piece of equipment"

"I received the adjustable top upgrade and absolutely love it"

I received the adjustable top upgrade for the AR250 and absolutely love it. It didn't come with the adjustable levers, but not a big deal I can still use an Allen wrench.

"improve his score by over 10%"

My original rest is doing great. My son and I do a lot of competitive shooting together he had been shooting from bipods, but took the time this fall to use my AR250 and proved he could improve his score by over 10%, making his shooting easier and more repeatable as well.

"quite pleased with it"

I received my new adjustable AR-250 Top and I am quite pleased with it. I will be switching between the normal top and the new adjustable top based on what type of rifle I am shooting. I foresee myself using the new adjustable top for thinner, sporter rifle work, but my primary use for the AR-250 will be for true benchrest use with the original top.
