Elevation screw ideas?
I've been shooting my rear grip Striker,(factory) off the bench, using a short bipod and a pair of wedges under the pistol grip. This setup works well enough for long lazy days at the range, ( and has been responsible for some pretty impressive groups) but I'm looking for something better than re stacking, or adjusting the wedges after nearly every shot.
I guess I could fabricobble up one of those fancy, long range, rests, (and I may yet, before the fat lady sings) but I think I'd be happier with something semi-permanently attached to the plastic stock. Perhaps an aluminum or plastic "slip in"/"snap in" wedge to hold an ACME screw and thumb wheel in the grip?
Not being particularly interested in re-inventing the wheel, I'd like to see what you guy's have come up with, so I can cheat a little...
Woodya hep a brudder out?
Thanks, Paul

I just use a sandbag. An old shot bag filled not quite full gives the capability of squeezing the bag to adjust elevation.

Sharpshooter, thanks very much for the reply. I started out using sand bags, but found I had better control with carpet covered wood wedges. Gross centering was quicker and fine holds steadier. I want to come up with something a bit more easily portable and repeatable.
This seems to be a particularly well disciplined forum, 116 views and not one silly suggestion or smart a** post, in nearly a month. I stand in awe...:confused:

I also use the sand bag method and have achieved impressive results on a continuous basis but I have seen a monopod setup on a rear grip Striker.
