Do you know if anyone has played around with a gimbal head for this? Seems like the inherent stability would be beneficial.You can get the BH-55, Anvil-30 or a leveling base. They will all be strong enough. Anvil is rated for highest torque and weight. The leveling base is lower cg so it feels stronger than it actually is. BH 55 is the most traditional style of ballhead some people are familiar with.
Thanks! I see that I can get the anvil and tripod together as a kit. I'm a little confused with choosing the tripod model. What is the best way to determine which tripod model to select? Also, what is the difference in the "L" models?You can get the BH-55, Anvil-30 or a leveling base. They will all be strong enough. Anvil is rated for highest torque and weight.

I ordered the Anvil-30 and tripod and I'm anxious to see how this changes the "feel" of my aim. I don't see how a pic rail offset significantly from the center of gravity can hold many pounds yet still be smooth and fluid enough to let me line up on the sight picture as well as shooting off a bipod will allow. My instructor told me to get this so I have it on order but I don't see how the head can hold the weight but be refined at the same time.You can get the BH-55, Anvil-30 or a leveling base.

the locking lever has a lot of adjustment range, so you can go from 0-50lbs of force needed to move the rifle poa.I ordered the Anvil-30 and tripod and I'm anxious to see how this changes the "feel" of my aim.
