    K2 Hunter pack.....sit it on ground and sit behind it resting rifle on frame with sandwiched hand between frame and stock....a hill stick works too,the trick is to hold stick and stock in off hand...takes a bit to get used to...with light recoiling rifle you can grasp stick and leave forend across wrist.

    Made several sets out of garden stakes, the steel with plastic covering, 4 - 5mm nylock nuts and bolts. Can't photo as a Mate burrowed them and never gave them back.

    As @mickyDuck says: sit behind your K2 pack and use the frame, I have a section of hard foam u shape (the blue bit) that the ali joiners use to transport windows and doors, squeeze it over the frame and poke a hole for the cable tie through. On hill sides, over high tussock, good for sniping hoppers out to 300 and you can hide in plain sight.
