The same person designed both.The sme version was when he worked for sme and didn't like the way he or the rest was being changed from his original design so he went out on his own.


The newer rest incorporate some much better engineering and are easier to tune.

I have the first rest he made after going out on his own.I have 1 hole that got stripped because of alot of different sessions of group tuning from different setups.(there is a second hole that takes care of it)That model does not have micro adjust but he now makes a model that does have it.I might have to have that one.



Atlas,the tuning is the part of the setup that gets overlooked and the WB isn't very easy to TUNE.Setup is easy but what rest isn't easy to set up.Yes,the rest I posted is more expensive but for a reason.The moving parts are not an issue.


Walk back and group tuning with a Wb isn't nearly as easy as it is with other rest.I like being able to group tune and go back to paper and have a good paper tear.I am not talking about paper tuning.
