I have a new spotting scope and old tripod. I would like to get a tripod that could be dual purpose. I have looked at Silk,Bushnell and Vortex. I would like the cost to be around$100. Any suggestions on a model?

for hunting I use the Bog Pod. also works to use the legs as walking sticks if you are packing meat.

The Bog pod looks interesting. I like the switcheroo system. It looks perfect for PRS style matches.
I use the u shaped yoke for shootin and the switcherroo with ball head for my 15x bincos. I have the 3/4 ht model and do most of my shooting from the sit as you have to usually go over sagebrush.(hunting) I also have used a hex wrench to take legs off (2) to have walking sticks when packing. for prs my model is a bit to short for standing but everything else including support for the rear of the rifle when on a barracade works.

I have it and it’s awesome but it doesn’t come with any kind of ball head or leveling base. So you have to factor that cost in as well.
Appears built like a tank but expensive only because of the accessory heads. Is it that much more solid than the Bog Pod? I am not a hardcore PRS shooter. I mostly shoot at home with the occasional match. I know the old buy once cry once but is it going to serve me better?
Might be too ghetto for some: I bought a tripod with a head that accepts a mounting plate, then bought an extra mounting plate. I took some AL, formed a channel, secured the mounting plate to the bottom, cut to fit some sleeping pad mat for the 3 sides of the channel, and covered it in 100 mph tape. Lastly I drilled a hole in a top corner, ran a loop of 550 cord, and attach it to my ruck via carabiner.
I think I am into it $15.00 and an hour of fab time. Been using it for @ 7 yrs.

it can accept any tripod. it's very sturdy. personally i wouldn't want to shoot an expensive rifle off of a cheep, flimsy tripod but that is just me. I also didn't want to spend $1000 on a RRS so this fit the bill and has worked perfectly.
Seriously dude? He just said his fucking budget is $100, and you suggest a set-up that's going to be approaching $1500?
