Description
The Allen 2458 Soft Rock is a two-piece rest combo built around dense, closed-cell foam that stays put and shrugs off dew, drizzle, and damp mornings. It's the kind of setup you toss in a range bag or truck console and forget about until you need a steady platform. The front rest carries your fore-end while the rear cradles the buttstock, giving you two solid contact points to settle the crosshairs instead of fighting the wobble.
Two Heights With the Soft Rock Front Rest
The front piece is designed to sit at either 4.5 inches or 6.5 inches depending on which way you orient it, so you can dial in a comfortable line of sight whether you're hunched over a bench or reaching over a fence rail. The rear rest sits at a steady 3 inches to keep the back of your stock level and consistent shot to shot. Both pieces work in horizontal or vertical positions, which comes in handy when you're improvising a rest off a tailgate or a shooting house window.
Where the Soft Rock Combo Earns Its Keep
The foam is stiff enough to hold its shape under a loaded rifle but soft enough that it won't scratch up a hood, a stock, or a blued barrel. That makes it a favorite for sighting in before season, running a new load across the chronograph, or steadying a varmint rig off the truck. Because the whole combo tips the scale at just a few ounces, it's easy to carry into a stand or stash behind the seat without adding bulk.
Allen Company has been building shooting and hunting gear since 1970, and the Soft Rock line is made in the USA. If you want a no-fuss rest that packs light and stays reliable through weather and hard miles, this combo covers a lot of ground for very little weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
How tall does the Soft Rock front rest sit?
The front rest offers two shooting heights, 4.5 inches and 6.5 inches, depending on how you orient it. The rear rest sits at 3 inches to support the buttstock. That combination lets you fine-tune your line of sight for sighting in or hunting.
Will the foam rest scratch my rifle or truck hood?
No. The closed-cell foam is stiff enough to hold a steady platform but soft on contact, so it won't mar a stock, a blued barrel, or the paint on a hood. That's a big reason it's popular for varmint shooting off a truck.
Is the Soft Rock combo good for use in the rain or heavy dew?
Yes. The closed-cell foam is moisture resistant, so it won't soak up water like a fabric bag or sandbag. That makes it a solid pick for damp mornings in the blind or a dew-soaked bench.
How much does the Allen 2458 Soft Rock rest weigh?
The full front-and-rear combo weighs only around 3.5 ounces, so it barely registers in a pack or range bag. That light weight makes it easy to carry into a stand or stash behind a truck seat.
