    Making some enquires at this stage. Time and distance a bit of a pain right now. He lives 9 hours away. Thanks to some member help, I have found a mount that might work on a slot in table/bench for the chair. Tech is a bit out of my price range, but will measure it up and see what we come up with.

    I would worry about the strength of the unit? But the concept is good

    My first thought when I saw that was, AA mount!

    For a 22 it should be strong enough but that setup of rambo 6 mm rems looks superb. I guess it has hydraulic damping to prevent wobble.

    Thanks to Rambo’s recommendations, I am looking into this with a table that can pivot over the chair and be locked in place. Not quite the mobile operation I envisioned, but I believe this will do the trick for plinking steel off the deck. Just sorting costs.

    I was thinking more of a 4x4" planted by/near the edge of the deck with a dampened swivel at the top (make from track rod end ball joint), and a gun mounted in balance. A non-overbarrel silencer will put the gun's centre of gravity forward so more gun sticks backwards to enable use from wheel chair. Keep it simple.

    Actually, @Hunter_killer, a 50mm narrow wall pipe. Stuff parallel legs of rifle bipod into the top (dowel put into pipe first so the right amount of the bipod legs protrude, and some cloth around the bipod legs to avoid scratching, and to have better fit).

    Weigh silencer so rifle balances on bipod.

    And if dad does not like using it, perfectly resellable and reusable.
