Western Airguns Balancing the Western Rattler

[Rogerthatout]

Love this rifle but it’s very rear heavy, and muzzle flip can be pretty bad if you’re not paying attention or you’re not anchored perfectly. Especially with an ATACR or thermal for a sight.

Used a larue QD picatiny mount and some tapped steel bar to add a couple pounds up front. Very easily to shoot this off a tripod now without influencing Natural Pount of Aim from body input

I love mine…….all the power you need at the turn of the dial ….but yes I agree with you need to pay attention to what you’re doing with this big boy.

Here's how I lightened and balanced my Rattler Long Strike right at the grip.

I added an ARCA adapter that mounts under the trigger guard and use a Two Vets 55 Ball Head mounted to a Recon Tripod or a rail we have mounted in our blind. Controls the weight now that the geometry of the mount has changed.
