1. What is the advantage of a coaxial rest compared to other conventional rests?
The co-axial design offers the advantages of rapid movement in any direction, with less hand movement, no lag of movement, or loss of concentration and time while compensating for wind changes. 

2. How does the SEB rest compare to other coaxial front rests?
The SEB rest offers the most FINEST coaxial front rest in the market, at a fair price.                                Please feel free to compare the SEB rest to any other coaxial front rests in the market & feel free to ask the shooters that have already used the SEB rests, and judge for yourself! 

3. Why do you use "dual post" and "pivotal base" design on the SEB rest?
The "dual post” design undoubtedly allows the rest to have a stronger & sturdier construction compared to one single post, although it doesn't offer the widest range of vertical adjustment.      

The "pivotal base” design allows the shooter to choose his/her own liking on the rest configuration, and how he/she might want to move the joystick. (i.e. in the same direction with the rest top, or in the opposite direction). This is a NEW concept & THE ONLY ONE in the market!

The SEB rest design also allows either right handed or left handed shooter to use the SEB rest the same. No modification etc is needed.

The mariner wheel under the coaxial unit (for coarse elevation) provides a smooth vertical adjustment, with no lash/creep in its movement.

4. Is SEB rest rock solid and stable?
Yes, absolutely.

5. How much is the M.O.A.? Is it enough for my shooting?
The SEB rest has approximately 38 M.O.A. both for elevation and windage.                                                  The amount of the M.O.A. is based on common distance (center to center of about 27") between the front bag and the rear bag.

The SEB rests have been used in many major Centerfire & Rimfire tournaments, including in long range events & F-Class shooting.

6. How low is the SEB rest at the lowest setting?
The standard SEB rest is approximately 4 1/2" at the lowest setting, counts from the bottom of the base (or from the bench top) to the base plate of the rest top where the bottom of the bag sits on. It is about 5 1/2" tall including the SEB front bag. (The SEB front bag is about 1" thick between the ears).

The SEB rest is about 8” tall or more at the highest setting, including the front bag.

Foot pads for F-Class shooting is available on request.

7. Would the SEB rest last for a lifetime?                                                                                                               The SEB rest should last a lifetime under normal condition.

The SEB rest also utilized a teflon sheet (which is secured to a metal plate) to push the sliding plates  inside of the coaxial unit. This detail will last for years & gives more consistent friction/tension.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO IS, DO NOT HARM OR KNOCKS THE CENTER PIN/ROD(*) because it could cause some "slop/lag" to the bearings inside of the coaxial unit, or this will be a lash/creep on the joystick operation.

(*)The center pin/rod is the rod which you attach the joystick into it.

8. I have never used a coaxial front rest before, can I use this rest with no problem?
In fact, a coaxial front rest is easy & user friendly to use!

With the SEB rest, you can operate the joystick & the rest top in the same direction, or in the opposite direction, simply by turning the coaxial unit from the dual posts and attaching the joystick to the center rod in the opposite side of the coaxial unit, and interchange the front & the rear bar of the rest top. It only needs about one minute or so to change the configuration. I strongly recommend you to TRY BOTH METHODS & find which one works better for you!

9. How do the SEB bags compare with other bags?
The SEB front bag fits to the SEB rest perfectly, just as good and solid as you could want for a front bag! The SEB front bags also feature "micro" fiber cloth between the ears which is smoother than leather or cordura.

The SEB rear bag features double wall construction and integral "doughnut" rubber base (hollow inside). The bottom surface is corrugated, which grips better on bench top surface, no rocking etc. The SEB rear bags also have extra large sand fill hole/spout, to ease charging sand into the bag.

An innovative carrying strap is added on the rear of the SEB regular rear bag, to ease handling.            

I recommend you to use heavy sand for the SEB rear bag. (Please read Mike Ratigan's book "Extreme Rifle Acuracy", about this matter).

10. How the SEB front bags secured into the rest top?
The SEB front bag has two side flaps along the length of the bag, which will be/can be secured to the rest top, between the base plate and the front & rear bar. Interchanging bag is a matter of seconds.                   

The SEB front bags have filler spout on the narrow sides of the bag, and FLAP UP.                                                The bottom of the bag is also hard & FLAT.

The design of the SEB rest top allows shooter to use a rifle with wide stock, or a Heavy Gun, only with a little modification. I once used the SEB rest for a Heavy Gun (55lbs, 6" wide stock) for "500meters Fly Shoot" last November 2006, in Australia. An additional alum base plate & 6" front bag were added & secured onto the standard rest top, and removed the existing side tension plates. I finished 3rd and got the smallest group trophy with that setup. I am just a novice shooter, YOU should be able to do better than me!

11. How can I fix the SEB rest in case I have any problem later?                                                                     The simplest way is to send the rest (or the parts) back to me, or to the Dealer.

I will send back the revised unit within 3 days maximum, after I received the unit. (excluding the shipping time to send back the revised unit to you). I wouldn't charge any fee to repair my products. However, shipping cost will be based on the case/problem. If the problem exists because of the customer's faulty (for instance because of improper use, or handling) you would need to pay for the shipping cost.(& perhaps the spare parts, if it really needs to be changed). If the problem exists because of the manufacturer's faulty (just in case), I will pay for the shipping cost (return shipping) --- Or I will ask the dealer to change your rest with another rest in case he still has one in stock. Basically I will try to find the best way to fix the problem!

Please do not hesitate to contact me in case you have a problem with your SEB rest!

12. How to adjust the sensitivity?                                                                                                                       There are 4 (four) tension screws located on the coaxial body, around the "rubber boot". (These screws are in Metric M6x1.0, 20mm long). A metric allen wrench & a ring spanner combination included in your package.

The SEB rest is factory set to accept MINIMUM 13 lbs of weight on the rest top.

To add more tension, turn/tighten each tension screw just very little (a bit by bit) & clockwise.            Vice versa, to reduce the tension, turn the tension screws a very bit, counter clockwise.                          You would need to hold the counter nut in position with the ring spanner, while you turn the tension screw with the allen wrench.

Personally, after loosening the counter nuts, I first usually turn the screws clockwise by bare hand, then check how much vertical force the rest top can accept. If it is still to loose, I would add tension a bit on each screw (with allen wrench in this step), until I find a fine setting & get a uniform feel/force to operate the joystick. (For instance, if I feel the left side a bit loose, I would add more tension to the screws at the left side, etc. If I feel the upper side a bit loose, I would add tension to the screw at the upper side, etc. Or by combination of those above, to find the best setting. I will make sure that the joystick can be operated smoothly to any location/position.

Then I will tighten the counter nuts at a light to moderate tightness only. And check again how the joystick works. I use to used a certain weight (a 13 lbs steel block) on this matter, but you can push the rest top down (by feel), actually.                                                                                                                       Please note, that most factory bolts & nuts have some slob or lash in its movement. This is why you first need to tighten the screws at a light to moderate tightness only. (i.e. to be able to adjust the screws a bit without loosening the counter nuts).

Once the finest setting is found, I re-tighten the counter nuts. (just to a moderate tightness, because in fact, no need to tighten the counter nuts very tight).

It usually takes about two minutes (or so) to find a fine/the best setting. With a little "trial & error" you would be able to adjust the tension of your SEB rest, to your own liking. The key is to turn the screws a very bit by very bit, and check every time you make an adjustment.

It is (just) normal that if you set the tension too much, the joystick would be heavier to operate.            Vice versa, if you set the tension too loose, the mechanism/rest top would be loose also.

13. Do you still offer custom paint job on the rest base? Or the stainless steel rest?

Many regrets!....Just like you, I do also love Beauty instead of just Function! However I cannot find a good painter/artist that meet to my standard of quality. So I no longer offer custom paint job/ airbrushing on the SEB rest anymore. The same thing on the stainless steel rest, I cannot find a right man to do the job. Due to my time and so on, I wouldn't be able to polish & make some "artwork?" on the s/s base for myself. It usually takes about 4 full days to make, to polish, and make the artwork on one s/s rest. I wish I have a lot more time & stronger back!

Thank you for your understanding!

14. Can you explain the 30 Days Money Back Guarantee on your products?
I offer you a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee, just in case you are not satisfied with the performance or  quality of the product. Within this time frame, which starts the day you received your merchandize, you may return the merchandize to me (or to the Dealer). The equipment must be in "like new" condition with no damage in any area and along with the original shipping box. I (or the Dealer) will send back your payment in full amount (minus shipping), once I, or the Dealer receive the returned item.

1. Can I shoot better or would have better results with SEB rest?
I would say I don’t know!  Just shoot your target properly, okay!?... You might need "to talk” to your bullets and ask them to please exactly go to "the right place" every time. Believe me, you will WIN all matches with this "valuable" input!

Seriously though, more and more shooters got better results using the SEB rests.

2. Why SEB rest isn’t so expensive?
Because I eat rice, lol.
 

3. Do or will I look good using SEB rest?
Well, it depends…At least it will make you more "customized”, especially if you get a new hat!

Some folks say "If you can't shoot good, at least you should look good"....I think it's true!
