Knee riser question - RAM mounts?
JMJ in NC:
Curious if anyone has used RAM mounts to make an adjustable knee riser. Please post pix if you have them.
Thanks,

Ive done it, no pics though
Ugly but it works. Make sure you get the dogbone thingie thats tall enough. Rev 1 was a tad too short

Tried and didn't work. Not stabile enough, and wouldn't stay put. I bolted a short length of rail under a few stocks and use a scope mount that I replaced the top half of the ring with a chunk of wood. Not adjustable, but it works.

Interesting. Did you use the 1” ball type? How heavy was the rifle?
Thanks for any info.

I've also tried it using 1 inch balls and 4 inch arm. It is a little bit flexy unless you really crank down on the handle, which will eventually crush the balls (so to speak). It's hard to adjust because the sweet spot for making it adjustable without being floppy is very narrow. I eventually found that I just left it in the same position because it was a hassle to move it to another position and crank it down enough to stay put. So then I went back to a fixed riser and looked at buying an adjustable riser (I'm leaning towards the Mac1).
It's cheap enough to experiment with but not a great long term solution for serious work.
