Hyskore DLX Shooting Rest Unboxing and Assembly

Hey guys we’re gonna do a quick unboxing. I’ve got the Hyskore www.hyskore.com  DLX Precision Shooting Rest https://hyskore.com/products/30088-dlx-precision-rest/   here. We’re just going to be pulling it out of the box, taking a quick look, and see how it comes. Really quickly, I know a couple of people have mentioned this in the reviews, the box did come damaged, and it seems that they like to ship this just in its box with good protection.

 

All right, already it looks like some of this is pre-assembled. It looks like we’ve got a bunch of parts and a bunch of little boxes, and a free wing nut here just kind of chilling. So we’re going to set these up inside here say. These are nicely packaged at least. I am wondering where the directions are. I haven’t seen anything.

 

The nice part about this is it’s a gas dampened rifle rest. What that means is, when the rifle fires, it has hydraulic shocks on it, and they’re going to absorb that impact. There is a nice little magnetic bubble leveler. There is the front rest, you’re going to rest the rifle here and here are your straps. This is how you’re going to strap it securely into the rifle rest. Here are directions. Oh. Instructional Booklet on a DVD. Ok. Cannot be viewed on a DVD player. I guess that’s fine. Yeah. We’ll see how well that video is prepared. All in all, so far it looks like the whole system is packed decently well. I wouldn’t say it was packed great, but the critical components are individually box. So that keeps them somewhat isolated and safe.

 

This is how we’re going to be firing our gun. It makes it so that you’re taking the user error out of this whole experience. As I was saying, it all is a fairly straightforward system. I am a little surprised how many air bubbles are in this system. That’s going to severely reduce the effectiveness here. But as you can see, the way this works is, this goes in the inside the trigger guard, and as you press the syringe that’s going to fire your weapon. Let me get this all sorted out and I’ll put it together and we’ll take a look at it completed.

 

One thing I’ve noticed that even though the directions have directions on how to do it, they’re very vague. They’re not very well done. It looks like they took a picture of the finished product and decided to have you do it from there. And while I’m fully confident that most of us can figure that out on our own, if there’s anybody out there that has trouble, I figure I’ll make a quick assembly video here.

 

This section comes pre-assembled, taking this piece right here, slide that piece right into the slot. There are holes that line up to corresponding lengths. Once you get the length that you want, carefully slowly screw this bolt through. Now I am kind of impressed. The tolerances here are quite tight. There’s not any slop. Now you’re going to want to adjust this at the range. Again this is adjustable length. This is what hangs over the front of the table. Now, the next thing we’re going to want to do is put our front rest on. Now you’re gonna want to take one of these off. These are the nuts that are going to hold this piece on the stand. The hole right here in the front above where we just assembled. This is how you adjust your height with these plastic nuts right here, or I guess it’s a plastic handle over a metal nut. So then once you get this lined up, tighten this down, and it should do a pretty decent job of staying. We’ll see how that goes when I test it out at the range.

 

Just noticed that their little Hyskore emblem here is crooked. I know it doesn’t really matter, but it’s gonna drive me nuts. Next thing I want to put on is the butt socket. There are three bolts that come fitted into here, along with their respective nuts and washers. There are three holes in the back along here. Now you’re going to want to position this so that your rifle stock fits right into the base. You’re going to line this guy up, shore it up, you’re going to want to take this up with a wrench. I won’t do that just for sake of time, we’ll just go fingertips. These ones fit just a touch a looser. I don’t think that’s really a problem. I’m pretty sure the other bolt is a little more important for the stability.

 

So here’s what we have so far. As you can see our three bolts and nuts are in there. We’ve got our front piece on there right now. This could be functional. Now the last thing we want to do here, obviously, is use our straps. Now it looks like you can either mount the strap to the cleats. And the idea is fairly straightforward, and this is going to be what you use to strap the gun to this stand. There is another one. The other one goes up front, and again, it’s very straightforward. This one I’m going to go down underneath and back up because we don’t have a bar that we’re going to run into, whereas here we did have a bar that we could run into. Although to be honest it looks like this one also could just be run underneath there’s enough space there. There you have it.

 

So if you go to the sight, there’s a little bit of slop in here. To prevent that we’re going to insert these guys, insert until resistance, turn back ¼  turn, tighten down the jam nut. Actually doesn’t have much lateral move anymore. It will still slide forward and backwards obviously. The instructions are very instructive until you get to the portion that talks about how to actually assemble it. Not much information. So there’s that. Again you’re going to want to tighten all of these down with an actual wrench, but to save time we’re not going to actually do that.

 

So now what you’re going to want to do is you’re going to want to screw this down into the shooting stand, or the shooting bench that you’re shooting off of.  If you need to, there’s a place here in the back you can drill through the foam and you can run a bolt down through the table for your harder recoiling rifles. Me personally, I’m going to try to use a ratchet strap around the table possibly in the front and the back to see what I can figure out the range that I shoot at has cement tables, so I can’t really run a screw into the table. Hyskore has a plywood design where you can make a plywood base, and to be honest I don’t want to mess with that. That’s gonna be a lot of stuff to carry. And I just don’t feel that that’s worth my time.

 

The last thing that I should show you is the trigger release. You’re going to mount this to your trigger assembly. It’s kind of a cool little system. I am excited to try it out. I think that I’m going to have to bleed off this air. I don’t like the fact that they have air inside these reservoirs. You don’t want air bubbles because you’re going to lose pressure.
