[QUOTE="Kevin, post: 78138, member: 603"] I have made something similar to what you described. Only mine does not fold up. My tripod has a quick detach system so the part I made that holds the gun comes off the tripod with a flip of a lever. The tripod has a three way geared head on it and makes it really easy to aim. Also the head can tilt a complete 90 so the rest can lay flat against tripod if I don't want to take it off. All the parts on the bottom of my gun are flat and parrallel with eachother and the rest supports the gun in two spots. I made the spots that it rests on slick though. This way the gun's recoil does not grab the tripod in any way. The gun is allowed to recoil straight back into the shooter and the tripod hardly moves. This is all hard to describe without pictures. Maybe I can get some posted somtime. As far as your design goes I would not coat the surface with rubber. Instead use cloth or something slick. You may find this out after shooting it. If your gun does not recoil much then it may not be an issue. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
