TA-3 and Anvil 30 with series 3 adapter will drop into the 364. The 404 is a 100mm bowl so the same configurations would not work, however I would imagine the TA-4 would work. The 404 is just a pig though, too big and heavy IMO. The 364 is heavy compared to a RRS for that matter.
This is my first post.
I have a 34 w/ BH55 and my buddy has a 24L w/ anvil 30, both are stable. We used his 24L and anvil 30 at Mammoth last year because it was lighter and we did not know how much we would actually be allowed to use a tripod. There was one stage where it benefitted to hump a tripod and did very well on that stage. We also shot at the W.A.R. Rifles Shootout PRS match where RRS had a stage that made competitors use a 24L and anvil 30. The targets there started around 600 and out past 800. I was able to engage 6 out of 8 targets but only made it out to 700+ yards my buddy was able to hit 5 out of 8 targets but hit the 800+ target. Our rifles weigh 18-19lbs FYI.
This what you said in post #107.."Works perfectly. Smooth, lots of adjustment for tensioning (more or less resistance while traversing) and locks up totally solid when cranked down. My wobble zone went from 1.5MOA with the hog saddle to 1MOA with TA-3 as measured by a scaled target and dry fire adapter. With Tripod at standing height.".
Yep. I guess as we spend more time with stuff issues can come to light. It’s great that we have a running thread to share updated information, right?
In that same quote you will notice I said I was dry firing. In the more recent comment, you might notice I was talking about recoil. (Live fire.)
I was thinking about upgrading to exactly this setup. Now that you've had it a while, what is the long-Term review?
If you are referring to the leveling base, I sold it shortly after making that post. The RRS leveling base is a great piece, however, It does not pan worth a crap by itself. In order to get the smooth panning that I wanted when using binos, a panning clamp would need to be added. I think with the RRS panning clam added, it would be perfect. I just wasn’t willing to spend that much more money on it and decided to stick with my ballhead. I have been quite satisfied with the ballhead route.
Use a rail, mount etc that is RRS dovetail standard and there is a good bet you won't have issues, something else who knows.Yeah; you’re right. I mean, I have another thread where it turns out adding tension to these things is a common modification. You’re right though; I’m too dumb to close a clamp lever. My bad guy, I will open it and close it one more time. Properly this time.
