PersonallyI do not have a problem with an inexpensive bench rest. Spend what you feel comfortable with and what will do the job for you. Now granted, one of those top of the line rests that do everything but pull the trigger on the rifle might be real nice for working up loads and for extreme distances, but this simple $22.00 one I have works just fine for me. Although, Il-cornfed that sure is a nice setup you have there. I bet that can produce some excellent groups at extreme distances.
