If I told you I understood the logic completely, I'd be lying. But, if folks want to buy twice as many, I'm totally on board with that![]()
Seriously, though...
I developed these for the LR benchrest crowd. They were the guys that I witnessed "taking matters into their own hands" already. They want everything to stay put throughout a string unless they dial some adjustment, which is usually very small. But once dialed, the rest needs to respond without any backlash, then stay put again. Therefore, when testing, I installed it to work in conjunction with the factory spring - how I envisioned 99% of customers using them. It does a great job to this end, although it makes the knob a little stiffer to turn. If I remove the factory spring and plunger altogether, I still have a lot more spring pressure than factory and the rest seems to still perform very well. This lightens the input effort required on the knob somewhat. Since the majority of our hillbilly benchrest is discrete targets at 300-550yds with heavy rifles, I suspect this is how I'll use mine long term. If I'm running groups during load work or on a good condition Fly Shoot Day (ha, ha, ha), I'll probably go full monty on the spring tension.
I think the gentleman interested in running two opposing one another is a short range BR shooter. Something that I haven't done much of, and will likely use a joystick top when I do going forward. I think his concerns are more geared towards responsiveness and being able to traverse targets quickly with rifles 13.5# and under. Again, this is purely speculation on my part. I'm certainly not going to doubt him, as he seems very well versed in his game. I just hope he's still interested once he sees the production units are still "over built", which was his major recommendation.
If they are over built, maybe they need to be fluted!! Lol!
