SmartRest Racken Rest II

The Racken Rest II is an Australian designed gun rest designed to hold a rifle on a vehicle window sill while driving the vehicle. It can mount to either sides of a vehicle door. The rest is capable of holding a rifle in place to keep the rifle firmly fixed in place. This means a shooter will not be required to repeatedly set up or remove a rifle every time he/she needs to take a shot. The mount has a swivelling capability for lateral and vertical movement. The tension controlled vertical and horizontal swivelling action has a range which is unmatched by any other rest ever developed for the doors of a vehicle. The arms are also telescopically adjustable for height and length to adjust for each rifle and shooter.

Uses:

The Racken Rest II is used for accurate shooting while:

• Shooting from a vehicle
• Safe firearm storage while in the field

Advantages of the Racken Rest II:

• Shooting accurately from vehicle: Less energy used to eradicate pests
• Speed and accuracy: Eliminating the need to remove and replace the rifle while driving makes it extremely fast to get a shot off when needed. Also the ability to swing in many positions eliminates the need for the shooter to constantly readjust the vehicle if the animal moves from its position
• Easy mounting technique makes it fast to mount and remove
• Enhanced shooting positions: A shooter can easily shoot ambidextrous because of the great support provided by the design
• Consistent Accuracy and easy to use left handed
• Reduced or no recoil: The rest takes the impact of the rifle
• Silent adjustability will not give away your position while setting up your shot
• Fast and smooth elevation adjustments are done while keeping sight on the acquired target
• The structure being made predominantly of steel is heavy duty
