So I don't have a tripod for my rifle, which means I "need" one. With Black Friday just around the corner, I need to get all the research done and be ready to pull the trigger before the sales start.
What are you all using for tripods? What kind of head, ball or level? or are you just dropping a bag on top of the headless tripod?
This is for range use, and possible competitions if they allow it, rimfire caliber, no hunting.
Tripod research is all over the place, just way too many options and decisions. Right now, the Athlon Midas is looking the best, simply because it includes both heads, and all the accessories you need, so you don't have to make any decisions. Currently considering the Midas CF36 kit.
Or, maybe just go with a more robust Leofoto LN-364C without any head and just put my GameChanger bag on top to shoot from. It looks like a fairly large stable platform.
The Vortex Radian looks like a good deal with the EuroOptic Veteran's Day sale going on, but then I have to decide if I want a Ball or Leveling head and I'm not sure I'm ready to make that decision without any experience using either.
There's a bunch of other tripod options, but I don't want to spend more on a shooting tripod than I did on my rifle or optic.
So, what are you using? What works and what doesn't? Where are the best deals?
Thanks.
