The Ransom Master Series Rest for Handguns: The World Standard for Accuracy Testing
Celebrating our 38th anniversary, Ransom International Corporation creates products that enable the shooter to obtain the utmost in firearms accuracy. For example, the Ransom Master Series Rest has become an international standard, and is used by all major handgun manufactures for accuracy testing.
Simply stated: The Ransom Master Series Rest represents the handgun shooter we all wish we could be. It is a precision, passive device that holds, fires, and recoils as nearly like the human hand as possible. It eliminates the human inconsistencies that ordinarily make handgun testing unreliable.
The Ransom Master Series Rest is the only machine rest to successfully accomplish the goal of precise, repeatable handgun accuracy testing. Introduced in 1969, it has become an international standard for accuracy testing.

Tips for Using the Ransom Master Series Rest
We suggest your Ransom Master Series Rest is firmly attached to a wooden base. We recommend 1" thick plywood, with 1"x1" wooden strips at the front and rear of the wooden base to isolate the Ransom Master Series Rest from twisting forces that may be applied when the base is clamped to the shooting bench.
Make sure the wooden base that you design is firmly clamped to the shooting bench, and that the bench itself is sound and secure. C-clamps represent a quick, easy and portable method for clamping the wooden base to the shooting bench.
The wooden base used for the Ransom Master Series Rest should be level. If the rest is not level, accuracy and repeatability of shooting tests may be affected.
