New Davies rear adjust bipod.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Another work in progress has been a rear adjust bipod. We have had a prototype doing the rounds in South Australia for a while now and a production model is now available.
This one comes in at 1.5kg, making it more suited to F standard/F open but could be part of an F/TR outfit if weight is not an issue.
It's not yet loaded onto our website but should be in the next couple of weeks, in the meantime, feel free to contact us for info.

bob,
i need a butt plate with adjustment in the fourth dimension.
if such a thing could exist, it would take me back in time to when i had good eyes and better motor skills.
the negatives of this include the fact that i would think more about girls than now, and less on making that shot, so maybe my shooting would not improve after all.
every thing in life is a compromise!
keep safe,
bruce.

Did consider multi-start thread with large pitch but it rather defeats the concept of fine elevation adjustment. Further weight reduction would only tend toward a " springy " set up which would definitely not suit large calibres.
The skeletonized weight of 1.5 kg suits most ( Aussie ) FS rifles which have a limit of 8 kg (rifle) and 10 kg all up and could also be suitable for FO ( 10 kg all up )
F/TR was not a consideration as the weight limit of 8.25kg does not compliment this type of bipod, however, if those with F/TR aspirations can suffer a 1.5 kg bipod then it will more than fill the bill.

I prefer my Harris bi-pod, but on the idea of fast AND fine adjustment I think it can be done.
Use two screws, one inside the other with the course screw on the outside with some form of friction acting on it.
Turn the course screw in and at the same time the fine screw will turn out, but the course screw will have a pitch set so it still moves in at a fast pace.
With the extra friction on the course screw, turning the fine screw won't move the course screw and so adjust as finely as you like.
