I have been looking at Caldwell rests and had decided on the Rock Jr. Midway carries them for about 75$. Looking through another online store for ammo I found that they are selling the Remington Shot Saver for about $39. Has anyone used this rest? Would you say it is about as good as any of the Caldwell rests in the same price range?

Neither of them is competition quality. Look at www.sinclairintl.com - Remember - this will last you the rest of your life.

I wouldn't go so far as to recommend a Sinclair if someone is looking at a $75 rest, even though they are nice. I personally would go with a few sandbags before I invested in another "cheap" rifle rest.
I am making my own right now out of an old scissor jack. None that are less than $150 appear to be worth the money, and none that are in that price range appear to be better than what I could make myself.

I have a Rock Jr., and for what it is, it's fine. I wouldn't, however, use it for any serious competition shooting or target work that I meant to do my best at. That said, it's fine to hold up the front of your rifle. I am in the market right now for a better front rest, but $300+ for a Sinclair benchrest? I don't think so. There has to be something between the two.
