What do you use to Sight IN Your Pistols ? My current Rest has a Steal/Rubber coated Y on the end to Support the forend. I dont Like the way The Barrel Hits It During Recoil ( NO CUSHION )

I use a flat sandbag under the barrel of revolvers or forend for the break open and bolt guns.
I have bi-pods on some of the bolt and break open rigs.

I use a soft carry bag with my insulated bib coveralls in them. Its just about the right height while shooting off the tailgate of my truck, and conveniate because I always keep them in my truck. Sandbags are best though for a rock solid rest. Either one will not damage or mar the gun. Ive made sandbags out of some cutoff legs from old denim pants, and simply tie the ends.

I use The Rock made by Caldwell. My SP rests on the rest and then I put something soft on the hind leg to support the grip and protect it under recoil.

I use sandbags with a homemade wedge (2 pieces of 1"x6" hinged w/ a loose block of wood between the two to adjust inclination, sandpaper covering on top and bottom to hold the bench and bags). I sometimes use a three ring binder to adjust elevation if I don't have my wedge. Works for me and cheap too!

Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

Gee Ernie, I think I could rebarrel my XP a couple of times for that much. Nice rest though.

I use sandbags because it is the same system I use in the field.

I use a Caldwell on the bench and 'sticks' in the field.
It's not the gun, but the man behind it.

One other thing, I do zero while resting on a Caldwell bag but that is not necessarily my 'hunting' zero. I also shoot from my field rest and off-hand and adjust accordingly.
Rod, too.
