    pistol grip tripod mounts

    Jordan0317, the Bushnell tripod is manufactured by SLIK and the grip head is the AF1100 E I mentioned earlier. The "HD" as we refer to our offering of the SLIK AF1100 E and the DX700 leg assembly are very capable tripods with excellent stability and superb versatility and durability at a price...

    PRS (SLIK) Tripod Issue

    We have been selling these model of tripods for 7 years now and I have seen this malfunction four times in those 7 years. I saw this with one of my own "Large" model tripods when in my haste to get in position for a shot I apparently didn't disengage the leg lock fully and I bent the leg lock...

    Sturdy tripod for a range spotting scope

    I am certainly inspired by the interest in tripod shooting as indicated by post such as this. This means folks are getting off the ground and out from behind the bench and seizing the opportunity to put rounds down range where they want to instead of where the support and or field of view...

    PRS Tripod and Saddle

    Precision Rifle Solutions Y'all rock. Thank you for your kind words and support. If you do not need a tripod to get you to standing then the "medium" maximizes the tripod system as a compact, lightweight, durable and versatile system to go from prone to kneeling. The "large", even though you...

    Tab Gear Rifle cover

    Re: Tab Gear Rifle cover This rifle cover is one of those pieces of gear that I just don't understand why everyone with a rifle does not have one. I equate it to a holster for a pistol, you just need it. We were issued the Eagle drag bags later in my career and to be honest we never took it...

    Rifle Scopes 10 power fixed scope

    Re: 10 power fixed scope Variable power scopes have certainly changed the landscape of precision rifle shooting but the rule of thumb years ago was magnification times the yard line: 3= 3x power scope and 10x gets you out to 1000. My old USMC 10x Unertl still gets it done to 1000 no problem...

    tripod

    Re: tripod Roddd, No worries that is why most are here to learn and share information. Almost all tripods uses a 1/4"x20 threaded post to connect items either directly to the tripod or the post is incorporated with a quick detach type plate to interface between the tripod and whatever you...

    FDAC vs Accuracy 1st Whiz Wheel

    Re: FDAC vs Accuracy 1st Whiz Wheel Here is the reality of both, math in public hurts and having tools at your disposal, that do not require batteries or the need to bust out the Big Chief tablet and pencil to generate a firing solution are good to go. One of the biggest advantages I see to...

    Another Southwest Ammo thread..

    Re: Another Southwest Ammo thread.. SW certainly builds quality ammo and as you can see Black-X is more than capable at showing the loads potential. I am intersted to see how it holds up at distance and fights the wind.

    Looking for ideas. Rear sandbag or monopod??

    Re: Looking for ideas. Rear sandbag or monopod?? LonewolfUSMC video is a great application of the monopod and certainly worth reviewing if you have the same question as the OP. Operating the monopod is very similar to how we ran our M40's way back when. We would grab the rear sling swivel and...
