PRS Talk Accutac FD-4 Cant tension

[Thebiglebowski]

Afterw a few matches, Im realizing how important it is to have the ability to cant your rifle for long range stages. My Accutac FD-4 is amazing, but when I try and leave just enough tension so that I can get level, it starts “self” loosening to the point of my rifle flopping about. The only two options are either cant locked out or completely loose. There has to be a way to get the tension to stay put on this thing. Anyone know of a solution out face this issue?

I sold my AccuTac for this very reason - my PRS club has a stage on a car where you shoot hood-roof-trunk-roof-hood or similar. My AccuTac would become "floppy" with the 5 postions with the cant. I was not alone with this issue. Loved the AccuTac for prone or modified prone without a lot of "cant" movement. My solution was sell the AccuTac. Now, I wished I kept the AccuTac for stages without a lot of movement and just used my Harris for the above car stage or similar.

The car stage at MPA Cool acres is exactly what made me realize this was an issue .

Small world. Keep a Harris in the truck with the spare gear for these type stages.
