Trainman's Review of Lyman Bag Jack
I received this item today and was rather disappointed when I opened the box and tried it out.
I like Lyman products and had great expectations of this jack.
First off, it's really not sturdy enough to handle the weight of a serious bench rifle.
Combine the weight of a shooting bag with the rifle and this thing finds itself in real trouble.
If you use it with the control knob back towards yourself. the unit allows a lot of sway from side to side.
Turning it to its side improves things a bit, but everything is still rather spongy and nowhere secure enough
for long range accuracy.
I'll probably keep it but relegate its use to casual plinking with 22s and handguns.
It's a great idea, but needs to be built with a lot more zest.
