Coaxial Rest Definition question

[gdbleb]

Dumb question but I have to ask.
I have a Protektor front rest. I believe it is what is called a "sling-shot" design.
Is this a coaxial design?
I look at pictures of the Farley coaxial and I'm trying to grasp what part is coaxial.
Same for the SEB Neo.

Joystick for adjustment on target.........

No, your slingshot is not coaxial. As applied to rifle rests, coaxial refers to a single control lever controlling both elevation and windage fine adjustments. Your rest has what is called a windage top. To make fine adjustments you have to use the windage knob on the rest top and the rear leg height adjustment. In types of competition where there is an advantage to being able to move rapidly between the record and sighter portions of a target, coaxial rests have an advantage, because both windage and elevation are controlled by the same lever.

you can however put a shade tree top on it and turn it into a joystick rest.

Thank you all. And yes, I have started to look at the Shadetree top.
