I am looking for the best tripod and saddle to mount a POF 16" and AI MKIII on. I believe the HOG Saddle is the best, but I am open for other options, also I want a very sturdy tripod to mount it on.
Thanks for the help guys!!
 
Most I believe will say hog and mamfrotto. The Alamo four star is nice too but just different. I use the PRS/slik and like it. But I use it for different things than your normal tripod user so it get the vote for me.
 
HOG Saddle will be your best option IMO. You can always get the PIG Saddle as well. As far as for tripod, I would personally go with Manfrotto from Adorama.com or B&HPhoto.com They got great deals on packages with.
Herea great review by CAL on both the PIG & HOG Saddle including what tripod & head to use Shooting Rest: HOG Saddle & PIG Saddle Review | PrecisionRifleBlog.com

Heres some link on both sites with tripod with head package

Where do I find the video from lowlight? on the head? I was looking at a Manfrotto MT055CXPRO3 Carbon Fiber Tripod with 054 Magnesium Ball Head Kit, is this what everybody recommends? I believe both of my rifles are around 18-19 lbs
