The new, (all aluminum) T-Rex has a similar footprint to the SEB MAX, measuring 12.5” wide X 11.25” front to back. Weight is just 16.5 Lbs!
My rest features the Rodzilla 5-Axis top. This innovative new top rotates independently of the base plate so no matter how the rest is set on the line you only need to move your rear bag to pan across the row of targets with no binding, keeping the breakaway consistent. There are several options for the top blocks. Choose from the drop-down box to select F-Class legal (default) or combination felt/rollers or full IBS legal top that accepts one pc sand bags. My bottom sand rails toggle front to back and cannot settle unevenly. You will enjoy consistent friction or breakaway under any condition. We now offer the Edgewood 3” standard, 3” reinforced, and 4” versions in regular Cordura, sold separately. (a drop-down box selection when ordering)
The new modular joystick with removable extensions is the same design as the Raptor uses and has replicable extensions for different rifle lengths.
The bridge travels up and down on double sealed ball bushing on 1” hardened shafts. My design utilizes a rack and pinion with a long drive tool for adjusting the height of the bridge while staying behind the rifle and looking through the scope. This system allows you to stay in shooting position while adjusting the vertical placement of your crosshairs. Precisely dial your vertical to the center of your target with the joy stick at the exact height you prefer. Precise friction free cross hair placement is very easy to accomplish with this design. Also, there is no need to lock the bridge as there is an adjustable clutch to hold the vertical position. The long drive shaft utilizes a T handle on the shooters side and a quick coupling adapter on the rest side. Once adjusted you merely pull back on the drive tool and remove it or just leave it engaged and set it on your shooting mat out of the way.
The horizontal range of movement is roughly twice that of any other joystick operated rest. The wider field of view is a great help when shooting in a condition that is switching and you want to look at targets on either side. The horizontal/vertical assembly, or X-Y block moves on 6 double sealed ball bushings that travel on hardened shafts for effortless movement. There are a couple thumb screws to add friction if you desire. There is no lubrication or maintenance required on my mechanism.
The optional sand feet are of the bell shaped or Phoenix design with treaded studs locked into the foot so they cannot come unscrewed like other designs can. The included bench studs come with a set of rubber bottomed stabilfeet bases made by Benchrite. The weight of your rifle is counter balanced by externally adjustable set screws. Adjustments are made with the rifle setting in the top unlike other rests that have to be disassembled to reach the counter balance adjustments.
The base plate is now all aluminum and feature quick removable leveling feet. The base and bridge are made from solid 6061T651 aluminum and hard anodized for a lifetime of service.
A fitted hard case is optional. (Select in the drop-down box when ordering)
Our case is made from tough light-weight polypropylene copolymer. It has a rugged O-ring seal that makes it air and water tight up to 3ft deep. This case utilizes an automatic pressure release valve so that it adjusts to its environment. It is also ATA/TSA ready for airline travel. This T-Rex case is lockable with comfort molded handles and spring-loaded latches. The case has custom cut convoluted open cell foam glued into the lid plus a 1” thick base pad glued into the bottom to lock the base from shifting around. There are two 4” thick, lift out pieces custom cut to secure the rest, feet and tools. All tools needed for adjustments are included.
