Written by the company
At Alacritas Innovations we strive for excellence in our own accuracy and precision, so why wouldn't we do that for others too. We are now on the quest to reach optimum accuracy through product innovations for you the shooter. With accuracy and precision at heart, we aim to deliver a complete package for all your shooting needs including hunting, target sports and competition shooting. Focusing on the needs of a wide range of shooters, we aim to aid highly precise shooting for all. The current range of products have been a labour of love and frustration over the last two years, searching through current manufacturing technologies and materials, to attain what we believe to be unique and practical designs. There is a lot more to come! The Fortis rear rest has developed through a number of solutions to the point where it is now a viable commercial product. A Father Son duo with over 50 combined years of shooting experience, with many championships and medals, at both national and international level. Both Achille and Carl are of course still active riflemen, dotting around competition circuits for a decade and deciding the real competition is on top of a hill, in foul weather, shooting at sub half inch targets at multiple distances. This is where the Fortis came from. A need in the field.

It really is fantastic product, I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time and was recommended it by someone I shoot with. If you’re looking for something better than a bag this is it!!!

Fortis Upgrade
Purchased the adjustable base for my Fortis rear rest. The adjustable base is well made and the wheel allows for precise changes. A great upgrade - highly recommended - as usual great customer service and communication from Achille
Sorry, but never again...
First of all, I did not receive any information from the company about the shipment of the order or a tracking number. I had to write to them about this.
Secondly, the shipment was described as "Gun scope ring mounts" and was immediately detained by customs for inspection. I thought that a citizen of a country that escaped from the European Union should know that the word "gun" should never be used anywhere. Any parcel with the word "gun" is detained, even it is just an accessory. And since there were no scope rings inside the parcel, I was at risk of having the entire parcel confiscated.
Thirdly, the sender declared the incorrect value of the parcel, £250 against the store price of £360. I had to make additional statements, attach credit card statements, etc., etc. to prove the correct value of the transaction.
All this meant that I had to wait 4 weeks (from April 19 to May 15) for the parcel that should have arrived in 4 days , and it cost me a lot of nerves and extra-money. If a company does not know how to function under absurd European regulations, they should hire a local reseller in the EU who will represent them.
P.S. Funny how the company asserts its worldwide experience. Because at the competition I met a shooter from Germany who also ordered this rest from Alacritas. The post office called the police seeing the description on the package. The colleague was quite pissed off, but managed to explain to the police officers the stupidity of the sender.

Fortis Micro Adjustable Rear Rest
Fortis Micro Adjustable Rear Rest. I bought this rear rest just before using it at the Benchrest UK Glevum shoot. I almost didn't take it because I hadn't tried it out in practice. It performed well, although I had to have it very low and had to make sure it rested on its feet and not on the middle section. I also had to raise my front rest up to see all the card. I bought it because I shoot different benchrest guns and normally use a SEB rear bag and bits of wood which is a nuisance. It's quite expensive but well made, light weight and very good for the job, so on balance I would definitely recommend it.
As today 4-15-2024
Everything is good except I never got a notification on the shipment nor tracking number as today I have not received my package (order number 10164)

Well worth the Price despite the addition of V.A.T.
The delivery was even quicker than Achille estimated when I placed the order. Only criticism is that they failed to show the actual price at the point of ordering and slipped in £73+ for V.A.T. which pushed the price up to £439.19 from £365.99

Shipping was fast
Shipping was fast, like the hard case to protect the rear rest, pleasantly surprised on how stout and precise the rest is built, if this works out for ELR, there are a couple more people waiting on me to see if it works, they all want to try it
