Description
The Allen Soft Rock Shooting Rest Tall Boy is the kind of simple gear that earns a permanent spot in your range bag. It's a single block of dense closed-cell foam with removable feet, built to steady a rifle for sighting in, load development, or plinking off the bench. What sets the Tall Boy apart from the rest of the Soft Rock lineup is the extra elevation. You get two shooting heights of 4.5 inches and 8.5 inches, and that taller setting is a real help when you're running an AR platform with an extended magazine that a shorter rest just won't clear.
Why the Tall Boy Foam Rest Works
The closed-cell foam does double duty here. It's stiff enough to hold your rifle steady for a clean shot, but soft enough that it won't mar bluing, cerakote, or a nice stock finish. Because the foam doesn't soak up water, it shrugs off dew, rain, and damp benches, so it holds up whether you're at an indoor range or set up in a hunting blind. It's also light enough to forget you packed it, tipping the scale at right around 3 ounces.
Where the Soft Rock Tall Boy Earns Its Keep
This one is built for the traveling shooter. The removable feet give you a stable footing on uneven ground, a tailgate, a fence rail, or the hood of a truck when you're chasing varmints. Set it flat for bench work, prop it up for hunting, and pack it away when you're done. There are no bags to fill, no sand to spill, and nothing to break.
Allen has been making shooting and hunting gear since 1970, and the Soft Rock rests are proudly made in the USA. If you want a no-fuss front rest that travels light and treats your firearm right, the Tall Boy is tough to beat for the money.

Frequently Asked Questions
What heights does the Soft Rock Tall Boy give you?
The Tall Boy offers two shooting heights of 4.5 inches and 8.5 inches. You just flip it to the setting you need. That taller 8.5-inch height is the main reason to grab this one over the shorter Soft Rock rests.
Will the Tall Boy rest scratch my rifle's finish?
No. The closed-cell foam is stiff enough to hold your gun steady but soft enough that it won't mar bluing, cerakote, or a nice stock. It's the same reason folks feel fine resting a rifle right on their truck hood with it.
Is this rest good for an AR with an extended magazine?
Yes, that's exactly where the extra height pays off. The 8.5-inch setting gives you enough clearance for AR platform rifles running longer magazines that a low rest would bottom out against. Set it flat and you'll have plenty of room underneath.
Does the foam hold up to wet weather?
It does. Closed-cell foam doesn't absorb water, so dew, rain, and a damp bench won't soak into it. Just keep it out of extreme heat, since foam can soften at very high temperatures.
