| On a serious note, the closest I have seen is the collaborative project between Vltor & Tango Down. Here is a direct link to the new products section: link |

That is a giant leap in the right direction. THANKS! Still, some p-dogs will have to be taken from uneven ground; all of the canines will be taken from uneven ground for sure. I was only thinking that a pivot point above the center of the barrel would give a very stable shot... I'm thinking some more research needs to be done and I will have to make a few trips to the machine shop for a new project  .In any case, if traditional pods work for everybody else, they can work for me. Thanks JTrusty |

Most of me thinks this topic is over, but a small part wants to actually go further with this idea... and I have; this is going to be a semester project for me, I think. Below are pictures of the concept (... it's a very crude setup, I know): The rifle stays vertical in any slant surface. That is the feature I am going for. If the rifle self levels then there would be less input needed from the operator.    Below is a simple sketch of a prelim. design idea. Basically it is a ball-and-socket design. The ball is 3/8" diameter. The plate around the ball is 1/4" thick and 2" long. This gives it enough clearance for nearly 18 degrees of tilt. I would attach/manufacture the legs to be like those of the CAA side mount design <http://www.commandarms.com/product.asp?pID=217&cID=20>. If you have input of any kind I would like to hear it.
