I have 1, #3 I believe. I'm using an Ewing head. Love it.  They are hard to find.

I recommend Holob Machine &Repair.

Last time I went to his page, Ray had announced his retirement. I don't see an follow-on sources for his scope stands. Looks like another company has picked up sight smoker production.

He has a patent on the scope head - I wonder if he would license production to another company?
I know I'll never go home.
So set fire to your ships, and past regrets, and be free.

Ray made some wonderful products, he will be greatly missed.

I can't help you with the Ray-Vin, but you may also want to look at Gary Elisio's scope head.  I'm currently using a Creedmoor Polecat, but if I had to do it over, I would lean toward that one instead.

Ray died.

Al Ewing stopped making his scope stand after his wife died.  He may have passed as well.

I recommend Doug Giraud's scope stand for those folks serious about high power and long range shooting.

Sadly Al passed away about two yrs ago. He sold his scope stand design to Ok Weber yrs ago like 2002 ish not sure what happened after Weber .

High-power forum for sale page is prob best bet for finding a Ray vin. Bought one of Ewing's prototype stands in 1994 been using it since.
