how does it hold up with a lighter rifle? is it pretty stable or is it just stable enough for the money?</div></div>
Well like I said, even with my 20lb rifle it works great. It's stable. It only starts to wobble if I extend the center stem more than 3 holes high (it IS a cheapo after all) Below that, the only movement is me moving the gun as it doesn't clamp into the rest (obviously).
You got me curious, as I've never used it standing up before (just never had a need). With the legs fully extended I can use it standing (I'm 5'10") But with a heavy rifle I dunno...just doesn't feel the most solid. With my deer rifle (sporter weight barrel, call it 9 or 10 pounds?) It's fine though.
BUT...I've never had the opurtunity to use a high quality piece. This is most likely a pile of dogcrap next to a PRS. I just wanted something to do, and, well, I'm a cheap ass haha I was surprised to see how inexpensive the PRSs are though. Great deal there.
By the way, 96C, that rifle looks awesome!
