When you are trying to zero a rifle, nothing is more important than a good rest. The challenge with many, though, is their lack of fine-tuning ability. It seems we can’t find the sweet spot, so we end up trying to hold the rifle in place and hope for the best. Real Avid has always led the charge in shooting and tool solutions, and they now have an answer for us. The Real Avid Ratchet Rest.
Ratchet Rest – An Adjustable Solution
Real Avid has announced the launch of the Ratchet Rest Adjustable Height Shooting Bags. These are precision-engineered rifle support systems designed to give shooters exact elevation control, faster target alignment, and repeatable shooting performance. By integrating mechanical height adjustment directly into the shooting bag, the Ratchet Rest eliminates the limitations of traditional fixed bags and allows shooters to fine-tune positioning without breaking their shooting position.

At the core of the Ratchet Rest is Real Avid’s Accu-Click technology, a precision ratcheting mechanism that enables controlled compression or rapid decompression of the bag while the shooter remains behind the firearm. This micro-adjustable capability allows precise elevation changes and exact sight alignment, supporting consistent point-of-aim and point-of-impact performance. The result is a stable, repeatable shooting platform that enhances accuracy and reduces the need for manual repositioning.

Durable Construction
Constructed for durability and field use, the Ratchet Rest features a rugged canvas-style shell with a waxed canvas top that grips the firearm and a rubberized base that prevents movement under recoil. Heat-resistant stitching protects against muzzle blast, while the poly bead fill maintains consistent support shot after shot. Reinforced carry straps and MOLLE attachment points ensure easy transport and field readiness.

The Ratchet Rest is available in three purpose-built sizes to support precise front and rear elevation control. The Front Rest (Large) adjusts from 7 to 9.5 inches, the Front/Rear Rest (Medium) adjusts from 3.35 to 5.25 inches, and the Rear Rest (Small) adjusts from 2.5 to 3.75 inches. Together, these configurations allow shooters to create a fully adjustable, stable shooting platform suitable for benchrest, long-range precision, and field shooting applications.

Ratchet Rest
Lightweight, compact, and mechanically precise, the Ratchet Rest provides shooters with a new level of control, consistency, and convenience at the range or in the field.
