I really hate to have to make a hamster myself because I'll have to do it 3-4 times to get it right lol. Is there an inexpensive off-the-shelf hamster option that suits a smaller rifle like the S200? Preferably in the USA so I don't have to wait for months? 

I already looked around the British FT sites, I'm not going to spend more than the rifle on a wooden block. But $50 would work....

You best be firing up the machines, if your budget is 50.00. I make my own and have close to 50.00 in them. Don

If your S200 doesn't have a T rail, you will need to install one for a knee riser (hamster). Don

I am sure the $50 you have in it doesn't cover labor.  I can see there being close to $50 in hardware.

As light as the S200 is I bet a 3 D printed model would work.

If you use aluminum and any kind of pricey wood, it is pushing 50.00 with fasteners. I use stainless steel for the lockdown inserts. A printed one would probably be cheaper, but not as strong imho.Don

Not really sure what you guys mean by a hamster, but I added this to my Daisy 887 for around $2 for the wood ball at Hobbylobby, and a couple of bucks for fasteners at Home Depot.

If it has an accessory rail....what's the sin in a cantilever system  (to stick it backwards farther)?

 

Forgive if that's an obvious answer for the twisted rules of the game being played...they have a lot of rules that shift/change and some  seem designed to keep certain rifles "out" and other rifles "in".
