Nice rig and he won't like mine either...





Last season in MT:



without the rail, just a bag thrown on the head, quicker than clamping in:



Practicing:

Now that's what I'm talking about Scott, nice rig! Details?

Nice set up, good looking rifles Chuck! Thinking I may need to get a lever for the Arca attachment, the twist knob is a bit slow.

IF you go that route, look for one with easy adjustment.. apparently all Arca rails aren't to the exact same specs..

Thanks! Works well for the purpose.

6mm Creedmoor - Bighorn action, #3 Bartlein 1:7.5 @ 18", XLR chassis.
Fatboy Traverse (3 pc) tripod and Fatboy Invert60 ball head
Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XG50 / Burris XTR rings

Very nice!

So, who DIDN'T shoot <3 MOA from Field Positions today:

- 50 rounds High-Power, at 200 and 300 yards.
-200 rounds Rimfire, at 25 and 50 yards.
- Sighted in the 6.5x55mm at 200 yards for the Season.

All Aperture sighted rifles.


Marksmanship - is a perishable Skill.

I love the fact that this thread became a show and tell for tripods.

By guys who actually hunt no less.

And even dare to shoot 22s beyond 50 yards.

Some dang nice rigs here. I don't have anything that fancy, just a couple monopods, a set of shooting sticks, and a few cheap Harris and Allen bipods in various lengths.

OP=FOS

Those look great!

Awesome rigs for their intended purposes and I would not mind having one. I do have something similar that uses a Hog saddle, but don't take it to the field as much as I used to.

In this pic:



I used my trekking poles to make a hasty supported position to allow me to get my rifle over the snow and shoot an elk that was a bit over 400 yards away down at the edge of the timber in the pic. I am sure the OP, in his "My way is the only way" nonsense, will find fault with it too. But the fact is that what I did resulted in one dead elk and a full freezer.

Of course anytime the OP wants actually wants to back up his mouth with something that would give him some credibility, I am all ears. I don't hunt much for horns these days for a multitude of reasons. For one thing, I prefer the taste of cow elk over the bulls and the fact that they are more tender. Plus I simply ran out of room in my house a long time ago for more antlers so I stopped bringing them home.

Doing it old school, with three oak dowels and some rubber inner tube bands.

I generally shoot off sticks now but sometimes off my elbows on my knees while sitting in a little chair.

typical dimacrap has to have every thing their way or they have chitt fit if you don't agree

Shooting, not hunting.

Like fishin' with a fish-finder.

... is just catchin' fish.

No wonder you're confused, as thinkin' is a perishable skill as well.

This thread reminds me I need to dig my footed mono out one of these days soon. I'll be hunting from an expanded metal ladder with no front rail this season, so I'll need it.

Also guessing someone has never thrashed a lower unit on rocks and/or logs/stumps based on the depth finder statement. Running a boat blind to depth is kinda like driving a car without a windshield to look out of.

After a visit to GA Precision in KS MO with the Mrs, we had a demo of the Two Vets tripod system, pretty cool for those who are into that kind of stuff (I wasn't at the time). A month later on my birthday, she surprises me with a nice tripod so naturally I had to educate myself on the accessories and attachment options and to choose which rifle to modify. The 6.5 CM was an easy choice so I bought an Arca rail and installed it on the stock. Not quite sure what I'll do with it at this point but the process has been entertaining. I will take it to KS in December and set it up in a Pop-up for my son who has the tag this year as the shots across the harvested beans and corn can be long. We'll see...
