Never owned a good tripod and finally used one last season and realized the nesscecity of it. I’m also switching glass this year to a Leupold gold ring spotter. Would like the ability to clamp and rifle into it for a rest aswell. What should I get?
It is for use with optics. I am very happy with it. The VA-5 fluid head is outstanding for optics use. For use with a rifle, a ball head is a better choice:
There are various ways to attach your rifle to the tripod, from something like a Triclawps Shooting Saddle to various rail mount systems (Arca, Picatinny, etc.).
Once you have decided all of that, you will need to decide whether or not you find it practical to use the same tripod for both optics and for mounting your rifle, or if it would be better to use a second tripod for shooting. Either way, the gear starts to add up pretty quickly.
After thinking it over, I decided to reserve the tripod for optics use. I decided that field shooting practice using a sling and pack is a more practical solution than carrying the extra gear required to shoot from a tripod.
Others may see things differently...
