[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 2572075, member: 5437"] Something to think about, depending on where you are hunting, elk can be in very rugged terrain. My last elk shot as an example. Weather closing in, now or never shot at 20° up angle, 343 Meters, just sage brush on a hill. Not sure how you make that shot quickly otherwise. Maybe lay down over pack w/bipod? Can deploy my setup 30 seconds, less if pack is off etc. What about across a canyon same 20° down/up both sides? Bare hillside, sagebrush to get over, etc. The tripod opens up tons of options especially on tough hillside angles and over brush/obstacles. Other than a little weight penalty, packing and the cost there are no downsides I can see over the bipod. I would use a system you can clamp or pin into. The Bog pod saddle is heavy and doesn't work well at all on my rifle, it's just awkward. Hanging the pack under the apex really stabilizes the setup. Those tripods have come a long way and are game changing. [/QUOTE]
