Caldwell Fieldpod for Bullpups?

[jfrazier30]

Has anyone tried to use this with a Bullpup? I'm interested in using this in the field with my Vulcan, but I can't find any dimensions.

Here is the amazon link:

I don't think it would be a problem. Someone one here posted a photo of their Verimator on the fieldpod. Perhaps that will help you reference the size:



I have one and use it with my Marauder and a Savage .22LR. It works well.

That's helpful. Thanks!

Keep in mind it telescopes and adjusts in just about ever direction so unless your gun is 6 ft long, or 10in long, you should be OK. Where I go shooting it is often REALLY windy. Like 20-40 mph wind, so I need to remember to not leave the gun on the stand. It will blow over. Don't ask me how I know this...

I bought mine from jet.com and got a $15 discount for my first purchase. Since it was over $35 shipping was free. I think it cost me $37 all told.

I picked one up on sale on amazon last week for $39.99 free ship.

Was $70 immediately after I clicked purchase!
I use camelcamelcamel on amazon. Amazing how fast the prices go up and down. Use that plug in if you use amazon a lot (save a ton of money).

I use Amazon nearly everyday. This Camelizer tool is super awesome. Thanks!

Its a website you register with...(its just for amazon). It keeps track of stuff in a wish list you can designate. Along with that there is a browser plugin, when on a amazon page you can click on a the icon and a little window pops up showing the pricing history of that item. Surprising how price fluctuates, but you can take advantage when it's at a low. You can also set "watch prices" & it will notify you when they item drops to a level you set. 

Hope that helps.

Surprisingly very sturdy?!
I have had a 14 pound rifle on it and it held it no problem (didn't feel like it was going to fall off). 
With the the rest(s) in their closest position they are roughly 20.5" apart. Extended is roughly 29.5".

I finally found pictures of a Vulcan sitting in the rest.

Thanks Mike and Frazier.

The Fieldpod is very sturdy, but in 30-40 MPH wind it is top-heavy, and the rifle acts like a sail to push it over.

"ztirffritz"The Fieldpod is very sturdy, but in 30-40 MPH wind it is top-heavy, and the rifle acts like a sail to push it over.

I shoot from sitting position, even then I adjusted the center stabilizer to each leg so the legs spread wider when folded out.
No doubt tho, I could see at full height in strong wind it would act like a weather vane (but I think any rest would).
