I have owned a ransom rest for about a month and in my testing, even with low SD's I was getting different amounts of muzzle rise on different shots. After looking over the machine and seeing places I thought could be improved, I began moving metal around yesterday.
Its machined vs cast because I am only making one and I tightened the wrist pin tolerance from .002 to .0004. I am going to use an inner needle thrust bearing vs the felt and make a shim that goes on the outside of that for the friction material. I am also going to incorporate windage adjustment into the base vs making it an extra part.
Still have a ways to go but I knocked out the precision machining and studs.
