Precision Rifle Gear Vortex Tripods

[DocRDS]

My son has a steep discount with Vortex on their products--are any of their tripods worth getting?

I don't have one, but shoot with a few guys that do and they love them. Seem to be in line with 2Vets, Slick, RRS, etc. Don't know where the components are made or assembly is done.

I run the radian and it’s great.

just picked up a radian carbon with ballhead off a prize table

it'll do everything i need it to do for spotting at matches. i dont really plan to ever shoot off it. unless fully collapsed and it would be with a bag on top not the ballhead most likely (i will always prefer a surveyor tripod to shoot off of if weight/carrying isnt an issue. nothing beats kicking the feet into the ground. shit dont move)

if i ran a tripod rear more i'd prefer a Two Vets QDT or an RRI 22i just to save time

i do plan to pick up their ridgeview carbon with a cert i have sitting for western hunting

Yup the Radian tripods are excellent. I like the leveling head version but personal preference.

How much of an angle can the level head do? I like the idea of a level head too but I've never seen anyone in my shooting circle use one.

 

[Rob01]

The site says +/- 15 degrees. Fine for my use but if shooting high angle the ball head would be a better option.

Ok, thanks
