Interesting to see in the latest G&E 2016 catalogue(http://www.gruenel.ch/data/uploads/pdf/ ... g_2016.pdf) the latest gizmo for rifles.
Not sure how necessary it is but it's nice to know you can adjust your foresight settings with the rifle still shouldered.

Re: Grunig & Elmiger EyeXtender
My questions were:
Will it work with a tuner such as the Starik or Uptagrafft? Tuners help the rifles shoot better, so having no compatibility with a tuner seems counterproductive.
How will it effect how well the rifle shoots? I can see it acting as something adding stiffness to the whole unit or something that adds different pressures on the barrel as you shoot over time.
Furthermore, if you're only shooting one position, then I question how necessary it is. If you're shooting 3P, then it would depend on whether or not you change your sight risers. This would add more work and time to changeovers during finals for something that can be done by knowing your aperture size and level angle. Cool idea, though. It also seems to only come in 18mm as opposed to 22mm. Maybe G+E and Gehmann will come out with some answers for these potential issues in the future.

All I have to say is who is both good enough and rich enough to buy this along with the bells and whistles...wow.svensta wrote:Interesting to see in the latest G&E 2016 catalogue(http://www.gruenel.ch/data/uploads/pdf/ ... g_2016.pdf) the latest gizmo for rifles.
