Thanks for posting the pics Red.
I got the pics from the proud owners and I am sure they wouldn't mind if these pics are posted in this forum...seb.

sebastian, i'm telling ya that's a work of art.

[sebastian]

Thanks Jim.
I really wish to have much "manggalimus" wood! (the wood that's used for the varmint rifle stock. The wood for the amo box is "sonokeling"wood, the same wood for stocks I sent to Scott and Dongoin long time ago. The wood for the loading block (shown attached to the "ammo holder set") is a palm/coconut wood.
Is there palm/coco wood in the USA, btw?

I believe I found an article on Sebastian's rest in Precision Shooting June 2006. At least it is about a man named Sebastian and his rest and this Seb is from Indonesia. Y'all outs ta read this. Pictures of Sb and his rest included.

Dakota, I got one of the PS June 2006 from xphunter.

That rest is awsome Sebastian. Especially the paint job and the box for ammo. Someday I might have to look into getting one if the funds ever become available. Right now its just too many got to haves for the wallet.

[sebastian]

Thanks Bill. The paint job is just a cosmetic touch. The most important thing is the function & the coaxial smoothness. The Seb rest is now become the finest coaxial rest in the world, and at a fair price. US's top shooters such as Cecil Tucker, Don Geraci (Hall Of Fame Shooters) etc also order my rest after they had a look & trred it. Mr. Tucker orders 4 rests recently (I suspect the 3 others would be for Billy Stevens...perhaps Larry Schanhorst, etc....I'm not sure though? but they are friends as I know). Jari Raudakoski, the 8th World Benchrest C/ship's Grand Agg. Winner from Finland also got 3 units, and would order two more for his kids next November or so. Many world class BR shooters would have the seb rest recently, can't list them all...
I am just new to BR game, and also come from a thirld world country...my machinaries also just third class/cheap ones (China's made), not so sophisticated etc. This is also a homemade products. So from this perspective, I am really proud with this project. I wish I could also manufacture benchrest actions & triggers (i don't know why but I personally think that these items would be "the pinnacle" of my dream)...but I know I could not due to the local law/regulations... (sad).

seb,
Hadn't been on for awhile, but as you can tell I read the post.
Glad to hear the word is getting out.

Here some pics on my front rests....in stainless steel









It's used for F-Class shooting.



And here someone modified my rest to a one piece rest.



I have sent more than 150 units to 14 countries, and planning to build the 5th run very soon. (I still have about 40units in handbut most of them are reserved/sold already.
1 seb rest, 10 ammo box, 10 loading blocks, 5 regular rear bag will be donated for the Super Shoot 2007 in May.
I hope I can sell about 250 units this year alone....and I will buy my own LV/HV rifle, then!!! ;D

Here is the s/s bases before I did the sand blasting.

This base was made from 30 mm thick s/s plate, then grounded (two sides), then grinding the edges, then the polishing process.
The "artwork" is done by sand blasting.
It was pain in the a$$ to make those s/s bases!!!! & that's why I didn't offer the s/s rest anymore.

[klsm54]

Nice looking work, Sebastian. ... I like the S/S base and it's artwork. I would consider offering it as an option, for an added cost, of course.

[Jack]

Sebastian, you are doing some fantastic work!

[sebastian]

Thanks you.
I only made 5 rests in s/s so far. (it costs at $ 650/unit, btw)
However as I mentioned earlier, it was pain in the a$$ & took a long time to make the s/s base.

[Bill]

OK, Thats enough. I can't take it anymore. Somehow I am going to have to have one of those rests.
Sebastian, that is like hanging a worm in front of a fish. Sooner or later you know he is going to bite.
It might not be in the next couple months but its going to be sometime soon I'm going to have to order one.
Dang but those are nice The would be awsome for a F-Class shoot which is another thing I have been working on. Why not, about 60 miles away is the best long range rifle range in the state.
