Thread: Using a Camera/Telescope Tripod with a Rifle.

A shooting saddle with an Arca base is okay for most hunting rifles without modifying them. It will fit onto an existing tripod with Arca compatible head.

If you can mount a Pic rail under the front of your stock, consider an Arca and Picatinny tripod ballhead... you can get a cheaper adapter if you already have a ballhead. If you are going to use a centrefire, a lightweight photographic tripod may not be sturdy enough to last. Consider something with at least 35 - 40mm diameter leg tubes.
Edit: I don't own these ' I've been down this particular rabbit hole the past week and am considering buying the ballhead and a picatinny to swivel stud adapter.
