Caldwell

Caldwell is an American company specialising in shooting supplies and range equipment, best known for the gun rests shooters use on the bench. The gun sits in a padded cradle supported front and back, and weights go in the tray of the rest, so the weight of the rest takes most of the recoil instead of your shoulder, and the muzzle stays close to its aiming point after every shot.

What matters in these rests is fine adjustment: elevation screws that move height in small steps until the line settles on target before you press the trigger, with a metal frame and wide base that resists sliding and shake. That helps first in zeroing a scope and setting the point of impact, and in trying different ammunition and comparing groups without a tired shoulder or a shaking hand getting into the judgement.

They suit the hunter who wants his gun set before he goes to the desert, anyone practising at the range, and anyone tired of the recoil of heavy calibres or zeroing more than one gun in a sitting. The shop has two gun rests, one a Lead Sled, both in the weapon accessories section. Caldwell is one of the brands the shop sells without holding its agency, and you can ask what is in on WhatsApp +974 5094 7142 or phone +974 4465 0041 before coming to Souq Waqif.
