Best Tripod for Predator Hunting

[BigTy313]

I am looking at getting a new tripod for Predator hunting. I just need to know what I should be looking at.

The best would be a 2 or 3 series Really RightStuff with Anvil head.

If you're on a budget look at the Shadow PIG0311.

Let me know if you have any questions about our RRS tripods and other products. I'll be happy to help.

RRS is obviously great, look at two vets tripods as well.

top tier: RRS
very good: 2 vets
bang for the buck: rekon
i just need a tripod: deathgrip

Innorel rt-90c is always a good "budget" option, great specs but made in China if that bothers you. I like mine anyways.

Fiesol 3372 with rrs ta-3 leveling head is what I use.
The head doesn't have as much travel as an anvil 30 and if I were to do it again I would get the anvil.
But the tripod is very stable, and lighter than an rrs , for hunting I like it better. If it was for matches I would go rrs.
Hope this helps

I have a Fiesol 3442 with the older RRS leveling head and an Innorel RT90C with an adapter and the RRS Anvil 30. The Fiesol is lighter, but the RT90 is a lot more stable.

I have a Shadowtech and a Two Vets QDT. I like the QDT better but the shadow tech works.

#1, I am not trying to derail this thread.

Is there a reason that so many people are opting for a tripod over a set of shooting sticks?

I am being serious and I just would like to know.

It depends on your shooting situation. Where I am it is easier to lock the rifle in and be hands free with a scan light. Then transition to the rifle when I need to with its light. I can stand or sit and still be able to do what I need with my hands at any given time.

Way more stable than shooting sticks. With the option of standing, sitting, kneeling and prone. Plus u have the option of using binoculars and spotting scope locked in for glassing. Shooting sticks are probably a little faster, just depends on your presence

Two Vets “no name tripod” looks like a good deal. A little over $400. Will probably be what i buy as my first predator hunting tripod. Alot of people seem to like them. Plus youre supporting two vets and their families.

You cant spend $1,000.00 on shooting sticks, comon man.

Gentlemen,

That makes a lot of sense. The hands free but still ready makes the most sense.

Thank you.
