I remember using them when I was a Cadet at my school. The .22" No8 rifle would be set up in the rest and us young cadets would aim the rifle, using the sights of course, at the target down the 25 yard range. The instructor would then fire the rifle and see where the shot went. If it was a couple of inches away from the bull, he'd just tell you where you were going wrong but if it was outside that or off the target, he'd bang you on the head with his clip-board. You quickly got the hang of it!

Ours disn't have an elevation mechanism, just a friction cramp. I'll be the proud owner of a few tomorrow!!!!!

The picture posted by the OP is the top of the later type of Aiming Rest, made of steel.

Now you have me scared! I found the information about the sighting tripod fascinating. But the collection of Lee Enfields!!!! Is that what I'm in for? I showed the photo of the gun room to my wife and said "See, I'm not that bad!" She just shook her head and replied, "Don't worry, you'll get there."
