Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hauksen" data-source="post: 3589513" data-attributes="member: 142861">Hi Etudiant,I would say that the range of adjustment is not actually limiting ... here's how it looks like when adjusted for the straight scope:[ATTACH]633070[/ATTACH]It's my impression that the straight version doesn't feel as comfortable as the angled version is that the point of support is a couple of centimeters higher with the straight version.That means the upper arms are not braced against the torso, but have to be lifted a bit, which makes the image a bit more shaky and in the long run is more tiring.Thinking about it, I could probably insert a "raiser" between shoulder stock and scope so that the point of support is in the same position as with the angled version. That would leave the focus adjustment wheel in the same high position as before though, which is also inconvenient.Hmm ... thinking outside the box now, there is no reason to keep the scope "upright". That's it: I just tried to turn it over on the right side, and that's a definite improvement <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> The shoulder stock rests on the left shoulder now, I adjust the focus wheel with the right, and the hands grip the rig in an almost binocular-style way.I had to rotate the "butt" 90 degrees to make this work ... advantages of a modular system!Regards,Henning</blockquote>
