    Additional Optional Accessories

    V-Sock for Multi-Cal

    This is the most needed upgrade for the Multi-Cal Steady Rest and is recommended for most users.

    This V Sock slides over the front V block just like a sock does. This V sock allows a little more padding and protection. Very handy option for Semi auto handguns. This sock allows protection and a little padding not only on the bottom of the V but in front of the V block. Thus, allowing the shooter to push the gun forward to allow the trigger guard to bump against the V block. This extra padding can be used as a forward battery position or forward stop. Thus allowing 3 points of contact when gun testing or stability is paramount. Revolvers have cylinder blast so Not used as much with revolvers as we use it and recommend it for semi-Auto pistols and use with all rifles.

     

    Price is $20.00 sold separately or $18 when added to your Multi-Cal. order.

    High Density -vs- Standard Pads

    High Density Pads

    This pad is slightly more dense and slightly thicker.

    This pad is an upgrade option for those who may want more padding. this pad is not necessary for most all uses the stock pad typically does everything you will ever need it to do. Options are nice and for those who may want a little more padding this option is available. Photo shows high density pad next to standard pad for comparison.

     

    $20.00 with the Multi-Cal order or $25 separate.

    Small V-Block

    This small V block is designed for handguns with weapon mounted lights or lasers located under the front barrel.

    Typically, these lights or lasers are located on a Picatinny rail. causing the gun to set higher in machine therefore we designed a lower V block to accommodate the added furniture on the gun. This small V block can also be used for really small pocket compact carries like a See Camp 380 or 32. Most all sub compacts work great in standard V block.

    Small V block added to order: $32.00 , Sold separately: $36.00

    1911 CT V-Block Adapter

    Laser adapter for 1911s with Crimson Trace laser grip panels.

    This is an adapter that fits the standard V block. The adapter is notched to allow the Crimson Trace laser on 1911s to pass the V block and hit the target. This allows testing and zeroing 1911s with laser grip panels. This adapter is Ambidextrous and sold separately.
    $65.00

    Rubber Feet

    Adjustable and removable rubber feet are stock equipment but are also available and sold separately.

STORING THE STEADY REST

You can store your Multi Cal Steady Rest in a standard military issue .50 cal. Ammo box. To place the rest into this ammo box, place rear of the rest into the box, with front tilted up. Ensure rear is against rear wall, then tilt front down into box. To make it very secure, adjust V-Block up so light contact is made with lid when lid is fully locked down. Towels or cardboard can be used to shim steady rest and protect from scratching.

TRIPOD MOUNT

MOUNTING STEADY REST ON TRIPOD OR MONOPOD

There are 3 options for mounting the Steady Rest to a tripod or monopod.

  1. Base – The base is threaded the common 1/4” -20 on the underside to allow mounting a standard quick connect to a tripod. This is best for pistol use to allow support of the shooter’s hand.
  2. Upright – The upright is threaded with the common 1/4” -20 on the underside to allow mounting a standard quick connect to a tripod. It can also be mounted to a monopod or threaded walking stick. Mounting this way will still allow fine elevation adjustments using the V-Block.
  3. V-Block – The V-Block is threaded with the common 1/4” -20 on the underside to allow mounting a standard quick connect to a tripod. It can also be mounted to a monopod or threaded walking stick. This allows only the V to be mounted so it is lighter and used for more purposes as well as hiking and hunting
  4. Tripod – recommendations are fluid head tripods that have a pan and tilt. Not a ball head tripod. You can use just about any inexpensive tripod available that has pan and tilt. The Weifeng tripod we sell is on our website is not recommended for the Multi-Caliber rest. This tripod is used for the Labradar.
