[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 870411, member: 17844"] 17 lb full solid adjustable alloy rail stock , QD Harris bipod , rear adjustable cantilever mono pod . Stock configuration can be changed to shoot from front BR rest and rear bunny ear bag or combinations . 243 and 30-06 barrels No 5 contour , Vortex PST 6 to 24 FFP scope on 20 MOA ARMS QD mounts . Can't afford to run anything bigger than 06 . In 243 it's like shooting a 223 . In 30-06 with 180 grainer's it's like shooting a 243 . It's shootable but still not complete . I have a slight horizontal spread that I have traced down to the Harris bi-pod and the QD adaptor having too much sideways and rotational flex . Might go an Atlas bi-pod or build a custom one . I mean the Harris is quite good for it's weight and vertical is tight but horizontal is improvable . My first attempt at an adjustable cantilever mono pod was a failure as it was to lightweight and flimsy and did not control vertical as well as a rear BR bag did so I beefed it and the pistol grip up considerably and now it's solid and works well . I like it because to make slight elevation adjustments on a target you don't have to move your rear bag or figit about . Just dial up or down with the free hand. I incorporated a detachable folding handle to lug it about . It's still in the R&D stage but at 17 lb I am in two minds whether to lighten it more or leave it as is . It's so pleasant to shoot . I don't carry this anvil about too much , just from the car to a lay up position and back . [/QUOTE]
