Made it from a Victor Company Universal Cheek Riser kit, not so hard with the right tools. I'm sorry I can't make one for you, but i'm Italian. Shipping fee would be awfulWhere did you get the cheek riser?
I’ve got a 3D print file but I haven’t sold any, I’m not a fan of putting my name on and selling 3D printed products.BET YOULL SELL LOTTA THOSE CHEEK PARTS AS THE RTI SURE NEEDS ONE
Awesome!Maybe this Christmas I’ll print up a bunch and give them out here to my RTI friends. I don’t know if anyone remembers me doing that a few years ago with the barrel bands for the FX, it was a lot of fun.
Hummm,

The bottle is touching the barrel because of flex from the bipod being attached to the bottle. That is why a longer lower rail is needed instead of only a short picatinny under the trigger guard..Mrshosted the bottle in the picture is touching the barrel I have seen this before that has to effect accuracy. RTI needs to address this in the future
I have had the same issue with the bottle touching the barrel without a bipod and bottle clamp. Just using a shooting bag as a rest my bottle would touch the barrel. This is an issue that RTI needs to address immediately. When shooting off of objects the same thing happens. A full length arca-swiss rail would be beneficial. K&L please make this!Mrshosted the bottle in the picture is touching the barrel I have seen this before that has to effect accuracy. RTI needs to address this in the future
While we wait for K&L to come out with a $175 -$200 rail, you could do this as a temporary solution…I have had the same issue with the bottle touching the barrel without a bipod and bottle clamp.

Only two things that I think RTI should do to address this.I have had the same issue with the bottle touching the barrel without a bipod and bottle clamp.

One small additional note to #2 above -Only two things that I think RTI should do to address this.
#1. Stress heavily in their one page manual that the bottle IS NOT a mounting bracket.
#2. Offer a full length rail that does not resemble the high dive at the YMCA. Their rail really looks springy.
I would like to see K&L jump on this. I really like their products.
I keep finding myself coming back to this. It sure looks like a great solution other than it hanging down so far, but if, as you say, the adapter can be split, that would likely solve that too.While we wait for K&L to come out with a $175 -$200 rail, you could do this as a temporary solution…
$37 Picatinny to Arca adapter from Amazon (this is the best one for the Prophet- I’ve tried multiple):

$40 AliExpress ($3 coupon and free shipping) super stiff 400mm double arca photography rail with double clamp:

This arca is super stiff as it is designed for hold multiple DSLR cameras with heavy lenses. My Prophet shows the 400mm - which extends slightly past the bottle. You can likely use the 300mm and still get the job done.
The double clamp is screwed together. You can separate them and screw the rail to the bottom of a single clamp - if you insist on having the rail closer to the bottle.
$77 “temporary“ solution that allows great flexibility as to where you position the tripod. You may find the ShineWee PR-60 adapter for cheaper than $37 on AliExpress (vs. Amazon).
Agree, I was thinking about using a carbon fiber tube set ups using scope rings to attach but this looks more refined, particularly if you can split that adapter.I keep finding myself coming back to this. It sure looks like a great solution other than it hanging down so far, but if, as you say, the adapter can be split, that would likely solve that too.
I have some shorter Arca rails, so I wouldn't be out much giving it a try.
