Just prior to testing, we were sent a new and innovative product for CTK Precision. This patent pending device, called the P3 Ultimate Monopod, is a quick detach monopod that fits any rifle by attaching to the rear swivel stud. An adapter for AR-type precision rifles is also available. Some rifles come equipped with monopods, as they add stability in some scenarios, but most do not and for those shooters who want a monopod, the P3 is just the ticket. The P3 Ultimate Monopod is CDC machined from billet aluminum and hard coat anodized. When the P3 is attached to the rifle, the bottom of the mounting screw takes the place of the sling swivel adapter. There are threaded side mounts and studs for those who might wish to use a side-mounted sling. The P3 Monopod has both gross and fine adjustments. Gross adjustment is attained by rotating a locking nut so the spring-loaded leg can be lowered. Once the gross adjustment is achieved, turning the monopod a quarter turn counterclockwise locks it in place. The monopod is fine tuned using a threaded segment with a rotating Delrin foot. When collapsed, the P3 Ultimate Monopod extends only a little over 2 inches below the stock. The monopod has rubber pads to protect the rifle stock. When not in use as a monopod, the devise serves as a handy grip to pull the rifle back into the shooter's shoulder.
