I have the Ascend 14L and do just that, I bought it with the integrated head and got a second column with the Anvil to swap and shoot off. The integrated head is better for glassing due to the pan feature but lacks the strength to support a rifle outside of directly under the balance point. The Anvil however is plenty strong too lock the rifle even by grabbing the bipod rail but the lack of pan makes it awkward to glass with.
I typically use mine with the integrated head and switch to the Anvil specifically if I know I'm going to be shooting off it.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
That's one feature I like about the TFCT, the fact it's already all set for the Anvil to bolt right in.
Just got off the phone with RRS and they recommended the TFCT-24L for best all around option for my needs BUT if size, weight, and using more while sitting are higher priority, they recommended the TFCT-14L over the 24L. Pretty much just reconfirmed exactly where I'm at... the 14L or the 24L?? The main feature I like the 24L over the 14L is that I'll be able to glass with binos and spotter while standing. Other than that, I feel the 14L fits my needs more. Decisions decisions...

How are the new twists on the 22i compact? I am thinking of buying a 22i and if the difference is big between the old/new I won't look for a used 22i.
Been busy and hunting, so I still have not pulled the trigger on a RRS setup yet. At this point the I'm only looking at the TFCT line with Anvil-30 head.
I don't like how long the 24L is folded and it's only 3 ounces less than the 34. Not sure 3 ounces is worth the stability trade off?
The 34L is just too big and heavy for my need.
The 33 is okay but a little long folded.
So I'm down to the 14L and the 34. About the same max height, the trade offs are... the 14L is about 1.5" shorter folded and 0.25" shorter in folded diameter, and about 1.25lbs lighter. Obviously, the 34 is more stable than the 14L in all positions so these would be the tradeoffs for the increased stability.
For you guys that have both or have seen both, which would you pick as your #1 for hunting shooting (sitting or kneeling) and glassing (sitting or kneeling) purposes? Maybe I should just order both and return one??

Thanks. In either no legs extended or only 1 leg extended positions, is the 34 still noticeably more stable than the 14L with a 10 pound rifle on it?

The Best Tripod and head setups made .. period
Hey Dallas. I saw you sold a TFC-34L with BH a couple months ago. What setup do you currently run for your elk hunts?
