Tripod gun mount question/opinions

[Cmlandscaping]

Thinking about putting this on my tikka t3. Wondering if anyone has tried this? Want to make sure it’s not going to cause any harm when shooting attached to my glassing tripod.
Thanks in advance.

[Hard way or No way]

Don't think it will hurt anything, if mounted properly. I started with a glassing tripod for shooting, and was extremally disappointed. I then did a ton of research, including a side by side review on the hide of 5 or 6 different set ups. Short version of the results are: you get what you pay for, and to shoot even reasonably well off a tripod is expensive. I settled on the RRS with the anvil, Imho it is about as steady as you can get, and it still wont shoot as good as almost any bipod closer to the ground. Whatever system you come up with, test it at your common hunting range.

Take a look at this you'll keep the center of gravity farther back. I came across this thing last year and paid less than what its going for now but I was blown away at how rock solid it is. This was way more stable than my triclawps that I bought a couple years ago.

I’ve actually been meaning to ask @Truduct what’s the best way to mount a rifle to one of his tricer tripods. I’ve seen him put a rifle on one of his tripods but wondering how I could use a standard rifle stock on the tripod

I use a simple gun clamp with an arca plate. Makes it universal no rails needed.

Adding an ARCA rail is nice. There are tons of options to add one to a rifle. It gives you an attachment point for a bipod and tripod. And you can attach either all the way down the forend. This is an arca rail on my chassis

I got a gun from a guy in AZ and it had this attachment on it. Aristotle engineering pretty cool mounts to a hunting stock and then you can attach a plate for whatever tripod head you have and way lighter than carrying around a clamp.

I may or may not have seen something in the works.
