My Hart rest likely weighs 15 pounds or so... Hefty, with big honkin' screws. It don't wanna move without major coaxing. The Midway I saw may have come in at five pounds or so... The Midway also wouldn't take "standard" tops, etc., so that if you wanted to add a Hoehn top or a speed screw, you'd be out of luck.
One thing to remember here - I'm a benchrest shooter - Look at the "real" competitors - You'll see Harts, Bald Eagles, Farleys, etc., and homemade machinist specials, but you won't see the Midways on the line. Not that they're "bad," per se, but there's just so much out there that's better. If you're shootin' critters, the Midway's fine. But to get your groups down into the ones...
