Front Rest -- info needed!

Gents: need some help here. A few years ago, there was a review in the Journal about a front rest that was designed with single shot rifles in mind as the rear leg was shorter to accommodate the lever. Massive, well made rest with windage and was a blue color. I think Green Frog wrote the review.

I need to purchase replacement Nylon bags for the forearm or barrel to rest on. Seems as if something tried to eat through them this winter.  

Now the problem is that I can not recall the maker. Does anyone remember this? Or have contact information? Thanks.

FRank: drop me a private message with your e-mail address. Had a computer hic cup awhile back and lost e-mail addresses.

No it is not either of those two. The rest was made by a one-man shop in VA or WV, but not sure. It is very well made.

  Ray ;

  If what you are saying is that you need a replacement front bag for your unknown front rest, you quite likely will be able to match up dimensions with a Protektor product, either leather or nylon at your choice.

   In the alternative, Sinclair International, a division of Brownells, also sells front rest parts, e.i., the nests with bags that screw down to the metal nest.

   Check it out,
