REACT Rest

[THEIS]

Hi,

So we stumpled upon this company at one of the pop-up booths.

Might turn out to be an option for those not looking to spend RRS money.

It is sorta like an "enclosed" gimbal type movement but only rotates 180 degrees from centerline horizontally.

Here are a few pics.

Sincerely,

Is that a prototype? Looks like it’s polymer.

Made by same company that makes the spec rest.

That layout is positioning the rifle and a lot of connections way above the apex of the tripod legs.

Generally speaking one would want to steer the design of a bipod or tripod that would result in the rifle, spotter, etc. as close as possible to or even under the apex for stability.

The one pictured looks like it would allow the rifle to have a lot more influence on the setup that it otherwise should.

ive seen this design a lot lately on social media in the leo community. Not sure how I feel about it,, and I haven't had the chance to see one in person.

I think the critical thing is where the axis of rotation is relative to the center of mass of the supported object, and you're right, it's quite high here. Just like the Elite Iron bipod is more stable because the center of mass is below the axis of rotation, I think at some point we will see people supporting rifles with cradle gimbals like this one:

Hi,

Already do..the CruxOrd gimbal is pretty much exactly like that form and function.
