[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 2588430, member: 5437"] I have the Davros Pro on a carbon tripod and gunsmith mount on multiple rifles. I find that if I lean into it slightly the play disappears. The circle pin gets pushed to the back of pin/socket interface and pulls it centered. You are just loading the tripod and interface. There is very little play but it is not locked solid like ARCA. IMO, the Javelin system is not quite as stable as as a similar setup in ARCA but it is MUCH more compact/efficient and works on fine rifles or where an ARCA is in the way, awkward, ugly, doesn't fit the stock curve, etc. On my hunting rifles the Spartan system is the way to go. If the rifle will readily take an ARCA rail and the extra shape, bulk and weight are acceptable, I would go that way. My chassis is ARCA. You can get very stable with the right setup using the Spartan system. I was quite skeptical when looking into it but I'm very pleased with the results. Photo below is Kimber w/Davros Pro head on my previous tripod and an MDT Chassis w/ARCA behind. You won't get the Spartan system to hold angles like that ARCA rail is. They will a little bit if the socket is in the right place but not that far. I can pick up my tripod/Davros pro attached to the rifle if careful. The magnet is pretty strong.
