The Fortis ‘Ultralite’ now known as the Fixed Cradle Rear Rest is a precision lightweight rear shooting bag alternative, for shooters who need to hold zero at distance.

 

Height on the fixed cradle is controlled via coarse adjustable via the position of the legs, which provides shooters a stable, repeatable rear support without the bulk of a traditional sand-filled bag. 

Therefore, your rifle settles into the same position every time. This is the kind of consistency achieved in benchrest, F-Class and PRS, where shooters rely on a good rear ‘bag’ or rest in the prone or bench position. 

 

All Fortis rear rests provide enhanced linear recoil tracking, tested and proven over time and continued development.  

 

Manufactured in the UK from acetal copolymer, the Fortis is less than half the weight of a typical sand-filled competition rear bag. Therefore:

 

  • You can carry one rest instead of several bags for different heights.

  • Rear shooting bag / rifle rest replacement, adjustable 90mm–160mm (floor to base bag)- 

  • CNC-machined acetal copolymer construction. 

  • Made in the UK.

  • Compatible with the Fortis bag rider and Micro Adjustable cradle bag system.

  • Suited to benchrest and precision rifle shooting, such as extreme long range (ELR), 50 Calibre, PRS and other field/ competition shooting sports. The Fortis is equally at home in the field, on the side of a mountain or in a competition setting.  

 

Used by competition and hobbyist shooters worldwide. This Micro Adjustable Fortis rear rest can be used in all WRABF benchrest competitions, Extreme Shot Italia and all ELR competitions in the USA, King of the Mile 1 & 2 and in other competitions like PRS. (Do seek rule clarifications or ask us if unsure).

    Best back rest I have ever used

    Needed a very stable back rest for my B-14 to shoot ARA matches, tried a few and then got this rest. First chance I had to use it was at the indoor national championship and it perform extremely well. Great rest!!! I highly recommend this rest.

    First try

    I have only had one chance to use this rest. It was Expensive but it worked and I feel like my groups were better.

    I still need to experiment with it some as it did have a tendency to sink down, that is the reason for 4 stars.

    Ultra lite rear rest cradle

    10 /10 for design , looks- and easy to use - so much better than a rest bag etc.

    The only minor and I mean minor down side is the plastic box it is stored in - thin and tacky - like a cheap market box with foam in it - a quality padded bag or a box similar to what accu tac use would be ideal - and look even more of a quality product on the range . Still 10/10 - as you could always buy a better box . 👍

    A game changer for rear rests, and KO2M legal

    Rear rests are a PITA for the travelling shooter. Heavy, big, difficult to pack and very dependent on the height on each range. Not anymore as the Alacritas with no wheel adjutment is KO1M/KO2M legal and as it is folding easily packed. And weights a fraction of a sandbag. Just carry a 10mm wrench, adjust it on prep time and leave it UNadjustable during your run. Thanks Alacritas
