Allen 2457 Soft Rock Shooting Rest Black Foam Tall Boy

The Allen 2457 Soft Rock Shooting Rest is a dual-height foam shooting rest built for shooters who need stability without the bulk. Available in black, this lightweight accessory gives you two working heights—4.5 inches and 8.5 inches—so you can dial in the perfect gun position whether you're shooting from a bench, hunting blind, or running zero drills with an AR platform rifle. At just 3 ounces, it's the kind of gear that earns a permanent spot in your range bag or truck bed without adding weight to your day.

Made from closed-cell foam, the Soft Rock combines durability with practicality. The material sheds moisture and won't absorb water in damp conditions, and it's gentle enough to rest your rifle on a truck hood or vehicle surface without marring paint. The removable feet lock the rest in place on uneven ground—benches, tailgates, gravel—so your gun stays pointed where you want it. Whether you're zeroing a hunting rifle, dialing in a varmint gun, or running extended magazines on a modern sporting rifle, this rest adapts to your setup.

If you shoot a lot, you know how much difference a solid rest makes in your groups. The Soft Rock doesn't replace a dedicated shooting bag or vice, but it fills a real gap: portable, affordable, and effective enough to keep your barrel steady when you need it most.
