As the rear stock of the DW is not sloped, I was having trouble changing elevation when shooting from the bench at our rifle range. This was exacerbated by my old, arthritic hands. Tried adding shims to the rear sand bag but that only resulted in a minor improvement. When I searched the internet, I found the Adjustable Bag Rider (ABR). Talked with David at ABR and sent pictures of the DW. David suggested the appropriate ABR with an angled base. Got it last week. Install on the bottom rear picatinny rail and went to the range. The ABR made a great difference. Now with my left hand, I can just turn the wheel to make smooth and precise adjustments in elevation while not “fighting” with the rear sand bag. Vertical adjustmentis approximately 1 inch. Now my hand doesn’t hurt and no more l frustration with the rear bag. '

Nice solution!
I'm always looking for a more stable rest for the butt of my airguns. When I used to work in a lab we used "lab jack stands" as a stable base to do experiments. I recently bought this one, to see if it would be applicable for shooting. It is a very/extremely low quality version of what we used in the labs. Bottom line is that it works. you can put a bag on top. I'm still testing to decide how to improve. The height adjustments with the knob are very precise.
May go to a 6x6" version rather than this 4X4. My groups are better than with the sandbags, but it just does not feel a stable. Cant figure this out....
Base is slippery, so I may apply some tacky material
Once i decide on the size, I may by a higher quality version from a lab supply vender. Should be much higher in quality and perhaps more stable.
The one I purchased has sharp edges and getting close and personal while shooting can cause scratches!
