Pig 0311 is inexpensive. Then there are the imported ones with the 100mm bowl and CF legs. 0311 is rated for 26lbs., some other high end ones are rated for 88lbs. I'd like to be able to fire a DTA HTI in .50BMG from it but it'll mostly be AR's and 7.62 rifles. I'd like to be able to do it standing or sitting, it not be TOO heavy since I typically have to hike it in some but I don't wanna pay a fortune.
I think I'd like a bowl. But what mount? ARCA? Picatinny? What's the difference in one over the other?
I send Doug a PM and got a recommendation from him for around, oh, $400 all said and done I'm guessing (based on the listed prices, if I called to actually order it I'm sure it'd go down some?). That's a CF tripod w/bowl and handle and detachable ARCA/picatinny rail.
I don't compete. So this is purely a field setup and needs to be rugged and can't have shit falling off of it or weigh a ton. Need to be able to use sitting or standing.
