I found an outfit in the UK that stocks them, but for $200 USD each plus the shipping, I'll have a local machine shop make them.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

you mean like this?
 
 
or this?
 
 
In the shooting circle I play in the sidewheels are used for rangefinding in a sport called field target.  We shoot airguns at 10-55 yards with unknown ranges and the big wheel is used to put yardage marks on it so when we turn the wheel we have a yardage mark to guess with.

It is a lot nicer than my old Gamo. Your rifle is way to nice to be used shooting opossums out of the garage' Those are very good pics. too. I have never been exposed to the world of target air rifle and did not understand your post. Thank you for showing me what you were taking about. Be assured I have no help in this specialized area. Welcome to OT you will be able to bring a new world of expertise to the forum. Tahqua or Rifledude may be able to help you. Good luck   Lile

jono those are WILD!  I had one made and am working on another design that should be lighter, need to stay under 8.25 kg for F/TR Class. 
I just want to be able to fine focus my 50x Premier/Leupolds as perfect as possible at 300, 600 and 1000 yds.
