What's going on in this pic?

What is this red crystal ball wizardry mounted in front of the scope?

It looks to be mounted to a rotating and articulating arm.

I wonder if this is one of those shooters who is trying to avoide or reduce the undesirable effects of a bad shooting position (or bad recoil management) by tuning the rifle.

Not everyone has a friend who'll help them figure out their mistakes.

Based on the clamp and the side pic rails, looks like a sikes clutch concept, but bigger and round.

You took a picture but didn't ask? Or are we competing for most creative wrong answer?

I asked a few friends and they all gave the same answer. It's known as a Jedi Globe. Some shooters lose focus on certain fundamentals and the Jedi Globe forces them to "let go" and feel the target vs seeing the target. Color portion is personal choice of the shooter.

Not my pic. Came across it from a post from Vortex Vengeance.

Maybe used by a shooter with a physical limitation to move the rifle around when shooting? Maybe that ball rotates?

Fancy version of the dime on the pic rail drill?

Palantir. It’s time to shoot Sauron

Pretty nice rig and seems like they have some brains with the rifle build. So it can’t be some goober business lol

It’s a grab ball. Used to pick up the rifle and roll out. I have one mounted on the wife’s back, just above the belt. She gets to acting up, snatch her up by the grab ball and we roll out. Get some strange looks as we exit, but WTF, gotta do what a man gotta do.

pretty sure it's lombardi's rifle

 

[Rob01]

pretty sure it's lombardi's rifle

So physical AND mental limitations? LOL

 

[msgriff]

It's a Quigley Ford Focal Plane Identifier. Pretty rare. Eliteuas bought the last 8 that were available.

I concur

It's a 6 dasher. It identifies as a real man's gun, so it has to assert dominance by adding balls to it to give extra impacts and argue with the spotter for calls as they are racist for persecution for being a trans rifle of colour.

I so want this to be correct.... also, link to where I can get one for my wife?

You pathetic plebes who can't bench 275, gotten 75 bow kills, or have done decades of concrete work wouldn't understand

Oh the irony of this being almost so true

 

[acudaowner]

don't ask don't tell ?

Thanks for getting this out there before I did.

 

[pmclaine]

Wonder if he used it to remind him to do something before shooting…..maybe set scope dope instead of shooting his zero or previous setting.

Just a visual reminder, who hasn’t set up and shot at 300 or some greater distance with their 100 yard zero.

 

[RS14]

Looks like the side grip and he just had it on top during that one photo for whatever reason.

 

[JBoomhauer]

@b6graham LoL. Going to show him this tomorrow.
