Description
Serious bench time comes down to one thing: a foundation that does not move. The Caldwell Rock BR 2 delivers exactly that. Its heavy iron base sits on a wide three-point stance that eliminates flex and keeps the rest planted while you work through a group. Caldwell built this one on more than 20 years of feedback from benchrest shooters, and it shows in the little details that make a long session at the range easier and more consistent.
Dialing In the Rock BR 2
Getting your crosshairs where you want them is quick and repeatable. The backlash-free windage adjustment gives you fingertip corrections with about 1 inch of range, which translates to over 150 inches of travel at 100 yards. Up top, the oversized elevation wheel rides on a ball bearing system for buttery-smooth movement, offering a 3.5 inch elevation range that works out to more than 525 inches of travel at 100 yards. That combination lets you center a target fast and then make the tiny corrections that matter for tight groups.
Bags and Feet That Earn Their Keep
The front cradle comes with two bags so you can match the rest to your stock. There is an all-weather molded DeadShot Air front bag that fits a wide range of stock profiles, plus a 3-lobe nylon bag sized for wide benchrest forends. An adjustable tensioning system fine-tunes the bag for a snug stock fit. Underneath, three spiked steel leveling feet with removable rubber pads let you set up solid on concrete, wood, or an uneven bench top.
Why the Rear Rest Matters
This package includes the molded DeadShot Air rear bag, and that is where it separates itself from a front-rest-only setup. The rear bag offers four different height options so you can build the exact hold you want, and when you are done it clips right onto the frame of the front rest for easy storage and transport. Whether you are load testing, sighting in a new scope, or shooting for groups, the Rock BR 2 takes the shooter out of the equation and lets the rifle show what it can really do.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Caldwell Rock BR 2 come with a rear bag?
Yes. This version (part 1263610) includes the molded DeadShot Air rear bag along with the front rest. The rear bag gives you four different height options and attaches to the frame of the front rest for storage and transport, so you have a complete front-and-rear setup out of the box.
What kind of rifle stocks does the Rock BR 2 work with?
It ships with two front bags to cover different forend shapes. The all-weather DeadShot Air bag fits a wide range of sporter and hunting stock profiles, while the included 3-lobe nylon bag is sized for the wider forends common on benchrest rifles. An adjustable tensioning system lets you snug the bag to your stock for a consistent hold.
How much adjustment does the Rock BR 2 offer?
The windage gives you about 1 inch of range, which is over 150 inches of travel at 100 yards, and it is backlash-free for precise fingertip corrections. The oversized elevation wheel rides on ball bearings and provides a 3.5 inch range, equal to more than 525 inches of travel at 100 yards. That is plenty of room to zero in and fine-tune for tight groups.
Will the Rock BR 2 stay put on a slick or uneven bench?
The heavy iron base and wide three-point stance keep it planted with minimal movement. The three spiked steel leveling feet dig into wood tops for stability, and the removable rubber pads let you set up solid on concrete or smoother surfaces. You can level each foot independently to get a flat, steady platform.
