DYI Custom Mount

[DuncanHynes]

Ok if this helps anyone, cool. I have a stock that is custom with a fully adjustable cheek. The idea came that I could remove the cheek piece and utilize the holes in the stock for a scope cam mount. Hence no squeezing of Mr. Sightron or any other fumbling about. It will work with any scope. The only thing not done is to make a means for lateral adjustment. This is just a fore and aft that can raise or lower with the cheek adjustment knob. The concept should work on any production stock that also has a cheek piece that can be removed.

The aluminum cost me $5.97. The
mount was off the one Ted uses (Sorry Ted, had to borrow it!), but one could use any flat aluminum. This just allows me to slide it and I don't care much for that mount otherwise so cannibalized it.

Beutiful stock, what gun is that? I have a Wolverine B Hilite. And am pondering a cam set up like this . Like fussell says looking forward to your videos.

Wolverine B .22 original steel bottle. Been busy with kids and overtime at work to do a video yet worth seeing. I modified the setup a little but same concept.
Look up Arca Swiss camera mounts. Used a rail and a bi-directional base and it works great.
Anything is possible...there is a 15mm rod system that is modular for movie cameras I saw on Amazon. Think aluminum erector set meets Legos. All kinds of bits and bobs that can lock and twist. But for this I went with Arca Swiss, mounts are $14ish and used that as the base adjustment. I will upload a pic.
