    I just *happened* across a very stout construction type tripod.
    If it matters, it's a Spectra precision.
    It was on the side of the road and probably fell off the back of a truck or trailer ?
    In great shape and it's a beast, very strong.
    The top post is threaded 5/8x11 for I guess a laser or some other type leveling optic?

    Would anyone think it would be worth it to convert to a rifle mount ?
    Is there a readily available way to convert the top stud that anyone knows about ?
    It's aluminum if that matters, there is no model number on it that I can find....but this appears to be the unit ..

    It has a HUGE amount of adjustment, way more than any dedicated shooting tripod I've ever seen....so that tells me to try and make it work as a rifle tripod.
     
    Someone is gonna be pissed when they get where they’re going. It adjusts very tall but will the legs spread out to drop to sitting and kneeling positions? For free99 I’m sure you can find some use for it.
