One key item missing from the above description is the provision of a height adjustable buttplate / rear bag-rider. Look at the blue anodized rifle at the bottom of the photos. There are two Allen-headed setscrews visible sitting in a vertical slot in the assembly. Slacken them off when setting up on the range with the bi-pod set to give maximum stability and the four inches or so of vertical adjustment at the rear means you’ll invariably manage to point at the target irrespective of the firing line to butts relationship. Likewise, you should be able to get set up for what’s a comfortable rifle height for your shooting style irrespective of whether you prefer high or low positions.

Tim Stewart who won the F/TR division in last November’s annual European Championship event at Bisley also uses a Dolphin stock + Barnard S combination. Mik Maksimovich (Mik-Mak as he’s widely known) prtner in the Dolphin Gun Co. is a keen F-Class competitor, founded the GB F-Class Association, and also builds rifles including Tim’s as well as manufacturing stocks and bi-pods.
