Presenting the
 NEW & IMPROVED BR PIVOT
from Battenfeld

The BR Pivot® is the result of years of varmint and target shooting using improvised rests and other commercially available products. Feeling that something else was needed; we designed what is now the BR Pivot.

This bench rest is not the lightest, nor is it the cheapest rest on the market.  What it is, is what we feel to be the most stable, quality, portable bench rest for varmint shooting and informal target work available today.

It is made from the highest quality materials, using modern manufacturing methods, to give the shooter a no compromise shooting platform, designed for a lifetime of use. There are no cheap sheet metal parts or bent, lightweight tubing in the BR Pivot.  The bench top is roomy enough for rifle, rests, bags, ammo, spotting scope/binoculars, lunch, etc. (45"x26"). The top is made of solid, edge-glued hardwood (butcher block style) sanded and sealed with medium Watco oil, reverses for right or left handed shooters.

The center post is machined aluminum 6061 T-6 aluminum alloy tubing.  A fully padded (marine-grade UV rated naugahyde), height adjustable seat is comfortable enough for a full days shooting. The tripod is made entirely of steel tubing that folds flat for transport and storage, employs individual leg adjustment for leveling , and has pivoting feet for sure footing.  Industrial synthetic bearings ensure precise, quiet rotation for varmint shooting, or may be locked for target work.

The entire assembly is powder coated with a matte medium tan color finish , industrially rated for extended outdoor use, UV protected to eliminate fading and peeling. This is a close-tolerance, precision bench rest that is ideal for field use, sets up in less than one minute without the use of tools, and takes down just as easily.
