jordang Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 ive not seen one in the flesh but looks like a good bit of kit.... would be awesome mounted on the back of a pickup!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Hi Mick, I have not used that one, but I have in the past worked out how to hold an AI onto a Manfrotto tripod - some of the issues look like they apply to this kit also. Look at the blokes elbow sitting in the chair and how far back the rifle is in the U support. If you are going to be there long enough to rest your bum it would be good to have an elbow rest and have the rifle rested as well in a V____V type mount where both butt and forend are rested with some means of fine vertical and horizontal adjustment I remmber several shooting tripods having these features like: http://shop.lonestarfieldproducts.com/ I would be tempted to start with an Outers varmint rest - put it on a big tripod and a fishing chair.

Would be great if you had a locking frame on back of a pick up,to attach it to then just sit and wait,also has 360 movement. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauer Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 there is a review of this on this months sporting rifle magazine...or maybe last months canna mind an older gent using it for ambushing roe and he was artially disbled and raved bout how it transformed his stalking to allow him to stay out longer due to far higher comfort etc. sauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finman Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Yep thats the one,guess no one has yet used one, oh well.. It would do the company some good, if they let us know how much this thing cost...I cannot find it anywhere in that bunf! and that usually means that it is not cheap.
