What is the most comfortable type or prefered palm rest for a small bore rifle. I am looking to upgrade because the one I have does not extend far enough down to be comfortable. Recommendations???

I bought a Champion's Choice palmrest for my Anschutz. At $45, it was a lot cheaper than the Anschutz version and it certainly seems fully adequate. Then again, I'm not that great a smallbore shooter. YMMV.

Not to sound snobbish here, but have you looked at your position?
Lot's of times, in the search for stability, I've found shooters that extend the palm rest too far down. This is self defeating as it lessens the bone support needed for true stability. Moving your feet a little farther apart or adding a little more back bend may help. Also supporting the rifle closer to the trigger guard will raise the muzzle. If you look at world class shooters you will find most if not all have stopped using a palm rest altogether. You might want to pick up the book "Ways of the Rifle" for more about this subject.
