Yours is beautiful…mine not so muchI too am one of those guys that like to take me out of the equation as much as possible. Especially when making a change to ammo or optics.
Here is a device I copied off of pictures posted on the internet. the original poster did not give any measurements, so based on knowing the paint roller was 4 inches across, I guesstimated the rest of the measurements. If I made another one I would make it shorter. For the benches I use I really didn't need something this tall. And I have seen simpler arrangements that accomplish the same thing. The roller moves very smoothly on a .25 in steel rod. Infact I have to be very careful because if I get the center of gravity too far back and let go the gun will easily roll off the rest and on to the floor. almost happed a couple of timesI use a very plush roller (probably time for me to replace this one). This arrangement works very well for me.
I also have a Caldwell Led Sled, which is great for powder burners, but have not tried it with any of my springers for fear of the sharp jolt ruining a scope.

I'd rather roll with yours. I'm too clumsy to use the tall narrow one. I'd constantly dent stocks and knock it out of position

Some good ideas here and easy to make. I like the paint roller ! Warm spell,went out with "Bob" and scraped the ice /snow off the hill road,should dry out nicely. Maybe we are thru with the snow! at least we got the moister content up.....Hopefully no fires this summer ........

putting some washers to hold the sideways shift would help and not ruin the Artistic integrity of your build .

I have shot a number of ways with my TX200. Off a bag, rest or palm rested bag it shoots well. Switching shifts thing, but sticking with one it has to do with shooter consistency for me.

About the only way I’ve found that a TX200 doesn’t shoot well is off a bipod. Even then I seem to recall that it did group well, but shot to a different point of impact.
