Most do not provide the vertical clearance you need when using standard AR magazines, or the stability you need when trying to accurately shoot budget-priced ARs that come with lousy triggers. I\u2019ve tested a lot of rifle rests over the years, and I\u2019ve never been entirely happy with any of them for shooting ARs. That quickly changed when I tested the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caldwellshooting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"tested-caldwells-precision-turret-rest\" title=\"Tested: Caldwell\u2019s Precision Turret Rest\">Caldwell<\/a> Precision Turret rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-part-rest-part-vice\">Part Rest, Part Vice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Precision Turret rest is, hands down, the best rest I\u2019ve ever used for zeroing and practicing with ARs at the bench. It works so well because it was engineered specifically to accommodate the unique characteristics of AR rifles. The result is a compact tripod unit that\u2019s part vice and part rest, equipped with variable-tension pan and tilt controls. In appearance, it looks more like a small machine gun tripod than anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0279-cx-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"2 - Tested: Caldwell\u2019s Precision Turret Rest\" class=\"wp-image-194128\" title=\"3 - Tested: Caldwell\u2019s Precision Turret Rest\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0279-cx-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0279-cx-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0279-cx-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0279-cx-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0279-cx.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Caldwell&#8217;s Precision Turret rest is designed specifically for shooting ARs using extended magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To use the Precision Turret, you simply insert the handguard of the rifle into the rubberized, non-marring jaws of the clamp while resting the pistol grip on an ingeniously designed small shelf at the rear of the unit. You then use a large wheel on the left side of the unit to tighten the clamp and lock the gun into place. The clamp automatically centers the forearm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-smooth-pan-and-tilt-functions\">Smooth Pan and Tilt Functions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Precision Turret\u2019s extendable front leg provides up to six inches of vertical adjustment. A wheel on the right side of the unit controls the tension of the tilt function. You can lock it down if you wish, but I prefer to leave it a bit loose. This tilt feature is especially helpful in allowing you to raise the buttstock of the rifle, replace a magazine, and return the rifle to its original position. You can make fine elevation adjustments using a wheel beneath the micro-adjustable pistol grip attachment that you rest the pistol grip on. You can use the rest with traditional rifles by removing the pistol grip attachment, but this unit is best employed as a dedicated rest for ARs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0271-cx-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pan control, Caldwell\u2019s Precision Turret Rifle Rest\" class=\"wp-image-194129\" title=\"3 - Tested: Caldwell\u2019s Precision Turret Rest\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0271-cx-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0271-cx-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0271-cx-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0271-cx-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0271-cx.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Handy wheels control smooth, variable-tension pan and tilt functions to line up optics or sights precisely on target.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Beneath the clamp-tightening wheel, you will find a smaller wheel that controls the tension of the ball-bearing panning system. This allows you to pan or swivel through a 58-degree arc using a gun with a 30-round magazine. The Precision Turret\u2019s controls work in concert to minimize time wasted readjusting the shooting rest from shot to shot. This translates into more time shooting, or a shorter session at the range if you\u2019re in a hurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-works-with-30-round-magazines\">Works With 30-Round Magazines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Precision Turret rest is wonderfully compact and has a small footprint on the bench. With the front leg fully extended, the unit measures 22 inches long and 13 inches wide across the rear legs. This may be too long for some skinny indoor-range benches, but it works nicely with almost any outdoor-range bench. Note that, in this case, compact does not mean flimsy or rickety. The Precision Turret has heavy-duty components and is built like a tank. I measured the unit\u2019s weight at 9 lbs., 14 oz. This weight, combined with rubber feet on the end of the legs, helps minimize shot-to-shot movement from recoil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0264-cx-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"extendable leg for elevation adjustment, Caldwell\u2019s Precision Turret Rifle Rest\" class=\"wp-image-194130\" title=\"3 - Tested: Caldwell\u2019s Precision Turret Rest\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0264-cx-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0264-cx-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0264-cx-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0264-cx-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-0264-cx.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An extendable front leg provides up to six inches of vertical adjustment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For testing, I did not initially use an AR-15. Rather, I used the <a href=\"https:\/\/ruger.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"tested-caldwells-precision-turret-rest\" title=\"Tested: Caldwell\u2019s Precision Turret Rest\">Ruger<\/a> SFAR (Small Frame Autoloading Rifle), which is essentially an AR-10, chambered in 308 Win., in an AR-15-sized package. If the rest performed well with this lightweight rifle in 308 Win., I figured it would easily handle rifles in other common AR chamberings. Once I had the rifle positioned, the crosshairs of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leupold.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"tested-caldwells-precision-turret-rest\" title=\"Tested: Caldwell\u2019s Precision Turret Rest\">Leupold<\/a> Mark 4 4.5-15x50mm scope mounted on the rifle were as steady as a predator\u2019s stare. I also found it easy to position my eye properly and consistently behind the scope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-read-more-the-goldilocks-of-bipods-magpul-s-new-bipod-is-juuust-right\">READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/magpuls-new-bipod\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"tested-caldwells-precision-turret-rest\" title=\"Tested: Caldwell\u2019s Precision Turret Rest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Goldilocks of Bipods: Magpul\u2019s New Bipod is Juuust Right<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-precision-turret-rest-is-rock-solid-at-the-range\">Precision Turret Rest is Rock-Solid at the Range<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The results were surprising and in a good way. The first three-shot test group I fired at 100 yards measured just 0.39 inches. Mind you, that was not with a match load. It was with hunting ammo in the form of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hornady.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"tested-caldwells-precision-turret-rest\" title=\"Tested: Caldwell\u2019s Precision Turret Rest\">Hornady<\/a> 150-grain American Whitetail 308 Win. load. That is the tightest group this rifle has ever fired with this load, and other tested loads produced excellent results. I subsequently tested the rest with a <a href=\"https:\/\/wilsoncombat.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"tested-caldwells-precision-turret-rest\" title=\"Tested: Caldwell\u2019s Precision Turret Rest\">Wilson Combat<\/a> Recon Tactical rifle in 5.56, and shot some stellar groups. If you want to find out just how accurate your AR can be \u2013 and do so with a minimum of hassle \u2013 this is the rest to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9699-cx-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Ruger SFAR pistol grip resting on \npistol grip attachment of Caldwell Precision Turret Rifle Rest\" class=\"wp-image-194131\" title=\"3 - Tested: Caldwell\u2019s Precision Turret Rest\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9699-cx-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9699-cx-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9699-cx-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9699-cx-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9699-cx.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In use, the pistol grip of an AR rifle rests on the micro-adjustable pistol grip attachment. A wheel beneath the attachment controls fine vertical adjustments.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My only mild criticism of the Precision Turret is that you have to assemble it out of the box. Pro tip: wait until you have everything put together to fully tighten the bolts. Assembly was not terribly difficult and took only a few minutes. That\u2019s a small price to pay for a rest that works so well and is so affordably priced. The Caldwell Precision Turret has a MSRP of just $179.99, but you can find it for about $50 less with a bit of shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"725\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9663-cx-1024x725.jpg\" alt=\"Test group fired with Hornady American Whitetail 150 gr. 308 Win ammo \" class=\"wp-image-194132\" title=\"3 - Tested: Caldwell\u2019s Precision Turret Rest\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9663-cx-1024x725.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9663-cx-400x283.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9663-cx-150x106.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9663-cx-768x544.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9663-cx.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The first 100-yard test group fired from the rest, using a Ruger SFAR 308 Win. rifle with a Hornady hunting load, measured just 0.39 inches.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9720-cx-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Ruger SFAR resting on Caldwell Precision Turret Rifle Rest at shooting bench.\" class=\"wp-image-194133\" title=\"3 - Tested: Caldwell\u2019s Precision Turret Rest\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9720-cx-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9720-cx-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9720-cx-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9720-cx-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MTD-9720-cx.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Caldwell Precision Turret has a relatively small footprint at the bench, but it built solidly.
