Wow, your wife really came through for you! Looks like a great quality platform. A little pricey, but..........? Maybe.

I made my own for lever and bolt action rifles. I just can't figure out how to post a picture. I ca e-mail to someone, then perhaps they could post?

I have a Samsung phone. Using the Chrome browser on the phone it works the same as from a PC web browser.

If you have an iPhone it should work the same way using the Safari web browser.

Ok, got that. I'd better have my son or niece do it. I might do something, uhh, wrong. I'm a dinosaur.

Have lots of time on my hands, so this is what I ended up doing. Bought a cheap, ( approx. $35.00 ) MTM brand gun vise. Made a platform for extra weight then screwed it down through the supplied holes. Mounted furniture levels for feet to level if I need to be that precise. ( totally anal probably ), but had fun doing it!
I can handle any comments or criticism...lol :)

Thank you!JEBar. Yes, time will tell if it was worth a couple hrs. Better than what I had though. Thanks for deleting the extra pic!

Looks nice and an improvement! Appears to be more stable.

Thank you very much wvhills. Just tried to make a silk purse out of a sows ear, ( in the words of my wife ). Lol. It's working very well so far. My next scope mount will tell if my efforts were worth it. As I said though, had fun doing it. Your response is appreciated!
