The rear sandsock has been used by snipers and tactical shooters for many years and has been successful in what it does. It is not the most precise or accurate means of rear support because of the necessity to have easy adjustment covering a wide range of motion. Mono-pods on the rear of the rifle have not been around as long as sand socks, but they have been around for a while now. The idea is to allow a very precise and stable rear rest on the rifle to afford more precise shooting. CTK Precision has designed and developed a new mono pod that we have here for review.
The P3 Ultimate Mono-Pod retails for $159.99 and is fairly light at 5.4 oz. It is CNC machined from billet aluminum with a hard anodized finish and rubber contact pads where it contacts the rifle. This mono-pod attaches to the rear sling swivel stud and it fit all the rifles we tried it on very nicely. It attaches and releases fairly quickly without the use of any tools, though a few times it took a little wiggling to get it off once loosened. The design for both the attachment to the rifle and the 2 stage height adjustment is very well thought out and the over all quality is very high. When collapsed it stands 2.7" tall, and has two separate "stages" of extension.
