A bit like dropping a 454 big block into a Ford Pinto isn't it?
And people accuse me of over-engineering things at times! Chin

Just kidding.... Big Grin

That is a seriously heavy duty steady though. Great job Bill! I think the black and brass really set it off. Looks classy. Thumbsup

Good job on the build and the thread Bill. Thumbsup

Most steady rests aren't nearly that large in diameter. What is the capacity of yours?

Been gone for a day or two Tom. Capacity of this rest is .195 to 3.740. This is large for a 9X20. I had to get it to fit a 3.125 Cat head.
