How is that first one less than 50 inches???

Even if I grossly exaggerate the distance between the bases, I can’t make that less than 50 inches. It measures closer to 60” when I use the proper distance for the angler bases. I’m guessing that rifle is 46-48”long, which also puts the rack into the 50s.

Might be a bit off… the perspective I think is causing some judging issues - almost like a fisheye effect. The measurements say 60”, but I think it might be less than that.

We measured 55". This was an any bull hunt though, so didn't have to worry about guessing beforehand.
