Ransom Master Rifle Rest The BEST

Ransom Rifle Master Rest review . The best rifle rest I have ever used . Solid as a rock and doesn’t ’float ‘ around like the joystick rifle rests . THE AMERICAN ORIGINAL OG rifle rest . The difference is quality, and attention to detail. As with all products from Ransom International Corporation, every factor that influences accuracy has been considered and optimized in the design of the Rifle Master. Proudly designed and made in USA the Rifle Master has designed for Competition Bench Rest shooting. Approved by FCSA and shooter associations as a competition rifle bench rest.
SPECIFICATIONS
First of all, the Ransom Rifle Master is heavy. Weighing from 23 to 38 pounds (depending on accessories), the Rifle Master represents a rock-solid platform for evaluating the accuracy of your rifles. Weight and mass are important factors for stability, resistance to vibration, and even possible movement from the bench. Major castings of the Ransom Rifle Master are formed from a carefully-selected metal alloy; an alloy that is designed to minimize harmonic and residual vibrations under actual shooting conditions.
The central elevation mechanism consists of two large-diameter columns fitted to tolerances of .0001 inch, and hardened to retain a tight, precise fit. Even the shape of the threads used for elevation were carefully taken into consideration: Acme-form threads are employed, due to their superior stability under load-bearing conditions.
NOT YOUR TYPICAL LIGHTWEIGHT REST
Its “typical” look does not readily reveal that some extraordinary elements of design and manufacturing that are used to produce exceptional results. Other rifle rests that are available on today’s market you may have used (or seen) were probably advertised as convenient, nice, “portable,” and easy to transport to the bench. They may incorporate a similar shape or style of our time-tested Master Series Rest. However, the Ransom Rifle Master is heavy, approximately 23-38 lbs. (10.4-17.23 kg), depending on selected options because this rest is meant to be used.
OPTIMIZE YOUR FIREARM
Consider the large amount of time and money you have invested in creating your custom hunting or match rifles. Additionally, think about how much work it took to develop the ammunition and load you are shooting. Now two important questions arise:
1. Does it make sense to shoot that rifle and load in conditions that are not as optimal as the rifle’s capabilities?
2. Are you using a rifle rest that is not the quality equivalent of the rifle load?
Certainly, a rest that would feedback vibration into the rifle would adversely affect its accuracy. You must have a rest that remains stable and does not induce adverse effects

Many have asked is it worth more than a Caldwell or other rests on the market. Absolutely it is. But this depends on your needs and expectations #1 Made by shooters for shooters. #2 American made. #3 Ransom Rest is 24 pounds Caldwell is 8 pounds or less. And the quality continues from there. #4 Ransom Rest has a keyed major column and 1 1/4 minor column keyed for alignment with CNC machined Acme threads and a casted CNC machined hand wheel with a bearing for heavy guns, Caldwell is made not in America (hopefully a gun friendly country but it is imported) It has a standard thread 1" column that is not keyed only aligned by the lock knob with a plastic or aluminum elevation wheel. No elevation bearing. #5 Ransom Rest Leveling feet are hardened with knurled and CNC machined knobs and CNC tight tolerance machined threads on leveling feet for no movement. Caldwell has standard shiny hardware screws for leveling feet with tapped holes with thread movement and or leveling feet wiggle. Ransom Rest is patented and made by Ransom in the USA it is the original Rifle Master. Caldwell was started by our dealer at the time it is more then 15 percentage different or more therefor USPTO (United States Patent office) says it's their own design and the Ransom Rest patent is not withstanding. The quality of Ransom goes on from there.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Thanks for that !!! There ya go guys

[@Dayattherange]

Can't wait to see this and your opinion. I have been using one for years and feel like it is the industries best kept secret in rest. I believe it is also the BEST DEAL when you compare the features of the rest and I have had the lower cost rest and have borrowed higher dollar rest like SEB and 21st Century go look at the price on those bad boys starts at 3K.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@Dayattherange]

@@CyclopsJoeVideos Awesome review I absolutely agree I would buy again.

[@willtrax71]

I was able to use a Ransom Rest for the first time in the early 80’s and it was unbelievable then and I’m certain they are STILL the best you can get 100% made in the USA. I know the Older I get I Damn sure need more Rest my friend. Great Video my Friend stay safe and watch for Midget Stalkers looking for Payback Lol.. Semper Fidelis

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

lol . I always keep an eye out for midgets

[@Sagittariustoo]

I bought a Ransom adjustable rear rest to go with my front Randolph Machine rest. The Ransom rear adjustable is an awesome rest too and the best on the market!

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

I hope to get one someday

[@treece1]

You from NC.

[@williamwilson2624]

That rest looks solid as a rock. I will be looking forward to seeing this thing in action.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

I can't wait to keep using it

[@boogermeister1]

It's about damn time, Joe!! That is a nice one. I keep mine in a large tool plastic tool case along with the rear bag. Got my case a Lowe's I believe. It makes for a heavy box but it keeps the crap together and protected. A nice rest does make a real difference.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Absolutely

[@jameshill5304]

You crack me the fuck up. You are my favorite crazy ass KZbinr lol.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Thank You

[@HSmith-uk9hl]

Without question the Ransom Rest is an uptown first class piece of gear. Although my Bald Eagle cast iron slingshot model is very good, I plan to buy a Ransom in the future.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

It was worth waiting on

[@bisleyblackhawk1288]

Damn you…now I’m going to have to buy one 😂😂😂

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

If you do . It's money well spent !

[@tommykawasaki9676]

I’m a Bald Eagle man myself. (Got a deal on a used one) I wouldn’t hesitate to use Ransom. Expertly crafted & an intelligent addition to your benchrest accoutrements. You are already an incredible marksman & I think you will find, this is an outstanding enhancement for your consistency. This rig will help you remove much human element, when you are proving out ammo & rifle performance. A feller can go practice his trick shooting later, once you know the rifle & load is good. 👍

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Yeah man this thing is incredible

[@Ransomrest]

Hi Joe thank you for this video and review. We appreciate you buying and using an American product. We shared your video hope that is ok.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Awesome, thank you!

[@InkwellFoto]

A Ransom rest video has never been more interesting than this with the narrative

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Thank You for that

[@ramvan2284]

My whole week has been a shit show Joe, but damn it if you ain’t the funniest mother Tucker out there. Made me laugh my ass off, thx

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

lol . That made my morning

[@sba681]

My dad said I could break a blacksmith anvil with a rubber hammer

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Lol

[@RimfireAddicted70]

I've got a older model Sinclair that is very similar to this and they do last forever and nothing wears out. I will make a suggestion that has worked for me for over 20 years. I see you shoot off concrete benches as I do, I cut a pc of rubber sheeting 1/4 thick that it sits on the concrete. The feet just protrude enough to grab the sheet and the weight of the rest keeps it from moving. It is rock solid, never slides and the rest never takes any damage or wear. I just keep the sheet in the case with it and away you go. That sheet has lasted 20 yrs and works in hot and cold. Congrats on great rest.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Great tip Man !! Thank You

[@turdferguson5300]

I prefer to spend as much as possible on the rifle and prop it on some cheap piece of crap. Actually that wasn't my intensions but it was my results.

[@L0NGRNGE]

Order placed. Thanks for video.

[@dennisholle1005]

Great review. Thanks for the info.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Thanks for watching!

[@driged1788]

Hey Joe. I wanted your professional opinion on something. The Remington 700 PCR has been discontinued as of 3 yrs ago. Yeh, the COVID thing. They may have it in some places but only in 308 WIN. I won’t be able to get the lapua mag. I found something kinda similar, the Tikka T3x TAC A1 Bolt Action 6.5 Creedmoor- 24”. What do you think?

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Man I wish I could help but I am zero help man , sorry

[@paulstakun8249]

There's no windage adjustment. I'll take a Randolf, thank you. Made in USA too.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

They make one . I just didn't order one for mine

[@dannyward1733]

Choosing between athlon 4.5x27x50gen 2 or bushnell match pro. Shooting 22lr at 50 yards matches. Athlon looks great but have not seen the match pro. I just need some help so I can choose.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

I would pick the Athlon

[@e.l.robbins5614]

Well hell now maybe you might get that DP Rim X to shoot for ya. If you don’t, you can send me the Ransom rest and the Rim X. Love ya, mean it! Great stuff Joe you are the best.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

I can't wait to get this as ND the Rimx back to the range

[@ShawnMorgan-j5e]

Just found your channel. Don’t know the history of your eye or if you’ve told it. I have some questions for you as I am now a cyclops as well. If game, say so I’ll give my email address.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

I have a whole video on that

[@johnmalone5185]

You might wanna check out the new Vortex Venom 3 -15x 44. Just a suggestion

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

I’ll look into it

[@WaschyNumber1]

That's overpriced like hell, you can get similar rests for much much less. Nothing on this rest is worth the price tag and the material is also not from gold made.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Believe me I've owned all the cheaper rests . This is a different level of quality and stability

[@jeffreybloom5017]

Hey Joe, Are you going to review the Red-Line scopes in the near future?

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

I hope to

[@metalwatercatfishin891]

Joe...gd how do I just message you? Got some questions about the right scope for 50- 100 yard woodland hunting? Budget 350 bucks. Who the fuck wants to spend a fortune to put some meat on the table. Let me know buddy

[@metalwatercatfishin891]

Also I just picked a gd video randomly to ask...and fuck yea I'm also responding to my own damn comment lmao

It is great that you bought one, now you have one less excuse for bad groups, LOL. Now all you have left is the wind, a lousy finger and bad eyesight like the rest of us. Enjoy your new toy!

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

You got that right!

[@RHorst-pu9cp]

PS; I always enjoy you videos, the no BS approach and a helping of sarcasm. Keep up the great work.

[@bigracer3867]

Nice! You pay for precision. I’m old too cy, so weight IS a thing!!!🎉😂

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Right on

[@juniorcopeland9082]

I'm old too, but what I've read the Ransom Rest weighs more than the Caldwell Rock ?

[@BigTimberLodge]

Mic drop was epic! Looking forward to seeing you use this rest in your videos.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Coming soon!

[@BenchrestMarksman]

Great review mate but I enjoy the fire control rest

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Fair enough!

[@Liemciemdk89]

where's the fucking code

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

No code . I boigh5 ityself

[@DreamConundrum]

I went through a similar dilemma and bought Protektor. The Ransom looks awesome too.

[@chestophercolumbo4561]

What's the story on Andy K?

A dude I had to block on every social

[@timmy4539]

Good info joe joe !

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Thanks 👍

[@TODinWY]

Looks basically like a copy of my Hart.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Or the Hart is the copy hmmm

[@Ransomrest]

Strange enough Hart was one of our customers back in the day when Chuck first designed and patented the Rifle Master.

[@paulsprague7754]

You need to ck out a seb ar250 rest.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

O hi man I would love to . B75 that's a lil outta my price ramge

[@paulsprague7754]

Just bought one with both bags 765 shipped.not much more then what you paid.

[@livinginswva1965]

That's a really nice rest, but outside my budget. I guess I'm a poor....lol. I'll limp along with my Caldwell Rock. Looking forward to seeing it in your future videos.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Thanks

[@markthegunplumber8376]

I bought the Sinclair used from a friend quite a few years ago and it wasn't cheap back then. I had a Caldwell and still use it as a backup or for a second rifle rest at the range. If setup properly with a top quality front bag they all work well some better than others and as far as buying a SEB NEO or SEB mini they are out of my budget. I actually think a proper fitting and tracking rear bag is the most important piece you can buy and don't do cheap either buy and Edgewood or Protektor. I have 3 Protektor and 3. Edgewood bags for different stock types, Tha's a good rest you'll be happy with it for years to come. I run an Edgewood Gater rear bag with an elbow rest and the Sinclair Comp. front rest and I don't see me changing anytime soon. Once you get the combo right it's a real joy to shoot and the scores go up.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Yeah I just ordered another rear bag yesterday

[@TripleGRogerLait]

Looking forward to seeing how this bad boy works. Does look the biz !!

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

It’s a badazz

[@nopro5433]

Iv seen these out there. Looks like they would be great for old people.

Half of the other quality rests

Heck...my rifle cost $600, I'll stick with bean bags.
