RE: Juggling the RW when using the PowerSet MK2 Programmer
The fact of the matter is that I'm kind of klutzy when it comes to tuning my RW. I've been balancing the action on bags after removing it from the stock. Being a "glass half empty" person I've been waiting for an accident to happen.
No more. Frustration lead to a solution that works for me. Specifically, I fabricated an adjustable stand that holds the RW via the stock bolt.
As you can see in the supplied image the stand holds the rifle upright. It makes it possible to raise or lower the muzzle so I can hit a pellet trap mounted on the same workbench and thereby easily cock, load and fire the rifle during preliminary chronograph testing. The stand allows me to add more air to the rifle during tuning. It fits in my gun case so I can take it and the rifle to the range for final testing before sliding the action back into the stock. Best of all, I can even balance the stand and rifle on bags if needed for range testing.
My solution may not be the best for everyone and whatever they have come up with, but it works for me (even if considered "a solution looking for a problem").
Now if I spend more time shooting the RW, and less time fiddling around with it, I might be able to do the rifle justice when shooting at a target.
Best wishes.
