So after taking numerous photos using my homemade rifle cradle, I decided it needed a couple of handles to make it easier to maneuver.
Home Depot only had one selection that would fit the 4 1/2 inch length I needed... made of aluminum and painted white. The aluminum allowed me to bend them a bit to fit properly without, but I didn't really care for the white color, and paint could be easily chipped off over time. I decided to wrap them with some brown paracord that I had handy... I like them much better now !
Here is my one-off R9TK (.177) that I bought from Jim, about 20 years ago... gee how time flies ! I got the DIY Tyrolean grade 4 walnut stock from Jim at a discount, some time after that when Jim had a posting contest on the old Delphi Anything Goes forum, that I somehow managed to win !
