I wanted to review this after a few months of regular use. I have used it with a 9mm carbine (1000+ rounds), a 22 lr (500+ rounds) and 308 (40 rounds) throughout a couple dozen trips to the range. It adjusts well, stays firmly in place via friction lock and the twist to tighten mechanism and if I wanted to outfit it with a different bag down the line I have a solid foundation to work off of. The one thing that I would recommend doing before using the rest is to cover the bolt threads that come up through the metal plate where the bag sits. Not covering up the threads on the bolt would lead to tearing pretty quickly. It would have been great if the company threw in a five cent cap to cover the threads but they didn’t and it isnt worth deducting a star in my opinion. I used some tape to reinforce the bottom of the bag before use. It has held up well, there is absolutely no reason for someone NEEDING to spend more than 2 minutes rectifying the situation. Lets not make a mountain out off a mole hill...
