I am trying to get back into shooting FT, but the goal was to NOT go crazy buying stuff. Quick back story, prior EV2 / Nikko rig before going WFTF Piston after losing my air source, and before the advent of the personal compressors.
I ended up trading my 97 for an S200 which kept the entry cost back into PCP rifles reasonable. Using the Bushnell Elite will save a substantial amount of money as well. Now, on to the accessories. Knee risers start at $200 and you need a rail. So I added a small Pic rail and only had to add one hole in the stock since I could use the existing sling stud mount. After LOTS of trial and error I feel I came up with a viable solution with minimal cost but substantial design, print, test time. Lots of failures on an oversized turret. I had a few that seemed like they would work, but they have not proven to be reliable. The current design is the simplest and so far the most robust. I would like it to be easier to read but as long as it works. Finally, raid the old parts bin and voila, scope riser.
I am hoping the stars align and I can get to a local match this weekend so I can give it a good test. Otherwise I will have all winter to tweak designs.
Thanks for reading.
