I just *happened* across a very stout construction type tripod.
If it matters, it's a Spectra precision.
It was on the side of the road and probably fell off the back of a truck or trailer ?
In great shape and it's a beast, very strong.
The top post is threaded 5/8x11 for I guess a laser or some other type leveling optic?
Would anyone think it would be worth it to convert to a rifle mount ?
Is there a readily available way to convert the top stud that anyone knows about ?
It's aluminum if that matters, there is no model number on it that I can find....but this appears to be the unit ..

It has a HUGE amount of adjustment, way more than any dedicated shooting tripod I've ever seen....so that tells me to try and make it work as a rifle tripod.
