SEB NEO Front Rest Discussion

#1 Postby DenisA » Thu Jul 05, 2012 6:48 pm

Hi all,

I'm waiting on a NEO F.R. I odered it early December and I'm told hopefully I'll have it by the end of July. I'm really keen for it but I won't be suprised if the wait drags out. I was originally told 4 months.

One of the guys at North Arm R.C has been waiting over 12 months.

Who uses one? and can you tell me how good it is just to keep me enthused.

Who's waiting on one and how long for?

To those that have one, have you made custom F-class spikes/feet?

Hi Dennis,

I have been using a Seb Neo for about 12 months, I LOVE IT, it is fantastic to use, just get used to people asking for a coffee.

I have nylon f class feet at the moment but will soon have some metal ones.

Rest assured the wait will be worth it.

Thanks Danny, Where did you get your F-class feet from?

G'day DenisA.
I ordered and paid my deposit a month before you, in early November.
I was apparently #14 on the list in mid April, with a shipment apparently due in early May, but havent had my emails answered since then. Hopefully i might get lucky this month if another shipment comes in.
I guess there isnt much RobC can do about it, as he is simply "waiting" like the rest of us, for Seb to ship the darn things, before he can send them on to the eager owners.
I have got a set of Sinclair F Class feet ready to go on when mine turns up.........i hope the bloody things fit OK !!

Extreme accuracy and precision shooting at long range can be a very addictive pastime.

Sorry Ecomeat, but the Sinclair feet don't fit. Too small a hole, you will need to have it drilled out and re-threaded

I have a SEB Neo and its great! If I had to wait 6 months to get it then I would have got the Farely Coaxial front rest. Its expensive and well made like the Seb, but its available now from BRT. Have a look here and click on the picture of it to enlarge. http://www.benchrest.com.au/restsbags.htm#rests

G'day Ian,

I like the Farley but one feature that really sold the NEO over the Farley was the ambidexterous course elevation adjustment. I shoot L/H. This feature will make it far easier to sell If I ever need to and also it will alow me to share it with friends that shoot R/H.
