My new Farley Magnum Coaxial II rifle rest

[jeffreybehr]

After missing two used Farley Coaxial II riflerests recently, I bought a new one, a Magnum F-Class, from Bruno's Shooting Supplies (1).

This Magnum's base is c. 16" wide and 12" front-to-back.

Since the pics on Farley's site are far more artsy-fartsy than informative, here are pics of mine. The spikes installed in the rest in these pics I borrowed from my Bald Eagle rest.




I believe the top-bag carrier is fancier/heavier-duty than that of the one I bought in 2006; the LH top-bag-compression screw is an allen-head while the RH one is a thumbscrew...

...and I believe 'FMFC' means Farley Magnum F-Class'.

The F-Class model includes (at least) taller spike-legs that have large discs, presumably to keep them from sinking into the earth, with largish spikes in their centers...

...along with a large handwheel added to the vertical-adjustment knob.

The entire device appears very well made except for the incredibly cheap USS one-size-too-large flatwashers on the forend frontstop and the big handwheel.

Sure was fun using it today.

Will be selling/trading the big spikes and handwheel.




(1) Jason Bruno told me they could sell probably 50 per year if only they could get them. They got two in this shipment; both sold within a week.

How much does it weigh?

How much does it weigh?

About 25-1/2 pounds as I use it, that is, without the F-Class stuff.
