Threads here for shop-made adjustable springer rifle rests?

[Tallbald]

Some years back I seem to recall a thread or two about adjustable rolling rests but myself cannot find them with the search feature. I understand that a rolling rest is good for springers. Even made one myself in the past but I found it more complicated for me than needed.
I'm thinking I read here about rolling rests using soft paint rollers. Wondering if foam pool noodle float sections may work.
A link to past threads or even more recent ideas sure appreciated.
Thanks. Don

How about a pool noodle over a paint roller.

Probably would work well. So many excellent ideas here.

• The idea behind the (paint) roller rest was that it would permit the rifle to smoothly recoil.  The roller would roll a little when the gun was fired then return.  The pool noodle idea would not be as likely to roll.  Some have also used a piece of flannel or silk between the hand and the gun's fore stock.  One member likes to use a golf glove on his hand.  Play around a bit, you may come up with something new.

I have never tried the paint roller rest but obviously it works but like shooting sticks it is more gear to cart around and a bother when rabbiting.
I watch the small bore blokes and apart from stiff leather jackets and lock in slings they also have a heavy stiff glove. Not really useful or even usable for a springer shooter. The point is that the stiff glove gives the foregrip of the rifle a surface that is the same every time a shot is fired. The glove is stiff and does not allow finger or grip movement.  With an air gun you need finger and hand articulation to cock load . Allowing the air rifle Foregrip to rest on a bare hand the surface in contact is different every time . Just a little bit but moreso if the hand is cupped .  To ensure consistent forehand grip or rather rest I make up a tube of soft closed cell foam  that slips over the hand like a fingerless mit . Foam is cheap if obtained from bin diving and you can cut it and experiment with a shape that suits you . It keeps the hand flat and the same surface every time . You can rest that hand ,nicely padded on both sides on a block or rock. The rifle can move easly on the pad.
What a lot of words . I should have been a lawyer at a dollar a word.

My beloved wife is a sewing crafter, with bins of fabric. I wonder if she has maybe some slick satin fabric I could sew into a sack glove that would be low friction.
I am kinda limited to bench shooting these days. A rest would be for, as commented earlier, a testing platform to ID bet pellet choice. Then I could strive for the same accuracy in the field without the rest.
Thanks for the replies folks.
