Ok, so I just picked up a Leofoto LS-364C from another member, and I’m planning to run an Anvil 30 on it, with a detachable panning table clamped into that for grid glassing. I know it’s not as optimal as a pan/tilt head for that purpose, but I believe it’ll be a good compromise between glassing consistency and shootability (hope to use it for both hunting and competition, likely more the former than the latter). I like the low-profile apex of the tripod as is, so I don’t want to use something that’ll space out the top of the legs.
My questions (for now, I guess) are:
- Does anyone know of Anvil 30’s in stock anywhere?
- What is the recommended way to get the Anvil 30 mounted to this tripod? I’ve done a lot of searching and for whatever reason can’t seem to find this specific question answered anywhere, although I’m sure it has been.
- Any recommendations on cheap but acceptable panning tables that clamp onto a 1.5” rail top and bottom? This is only for spotting, so it need not hold solid lockup with the Titanic atop it, and $225 just seems a little steep (the RRS offering).
- I’m gonna mount up a Henderson ultralight rail on the forend of a Bergara B14 HMR, but I’m not gonna be able to lay hands on it for a few days and would prefer to order soon to get it to a gunsmith. Would anyone who’s got one be willing to give me the measurement in inches from the front of the mag well to the forend tip? Wanna buy a rail that won’t hang off the end or need to be cut to prevent that.
Thanks in advance for any guidance you folks can provide, and I apologize if these have been answered elsewhere; I’ve Googled all morning and these particular queries have continued to elude me.
