SP3GAZ Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I have a rifle rest that I built out of box section 10 years ago that bolts to the front carrier for lamping the rabbits. Its been on 5 quads, 4 Honda's 1 Kawasaki with no problem but the TGB Blade 425 I've got it on now vibrates too much for a steady shot. I have tried switching the engine off with each shot but that's a pain, lights off the cigarette socket and ignition needs to be on and its a real pain starting it up with a rifle in hand! The bikes only 6 months old so I cant mess with it, I've only just got it back from the suppliers because the gearbox went bang! Any ideas on how to isolate the rest?

Hendrix's rifle Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 How is it fixed to the quad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP3GAZ Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Its fixed in 4 places with U bolts to the front carrier...L shaped with a box in front. I think i'll just make a new one with some small vibrating conveyor mounts and a good ballast weight. It worked on a search light I did a few years back, after a failed attempt with it slung off springs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrix's rifle Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Would it be possible to mount it on donuts? Like the old mini exhaust donuts? It would take a lot of the vibration away so should be good enough for a steady shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
