[QUOTE="jeephunter, post: 1248968, member: 98700"] I'm trying to improve my sitting position for hunting between 400-700 yards with a 308 rifle. Often I cannot get into prone because I am on the side of a hill or in tall grass so sitting is my only option. However sitting is not that stable for me and I cannot reliably make 1.5 MOA hits (eg 6" at 400 yards, 10.5" at 700 yards) with sitting because my crosshairs are too jumpy. I have no problem with those distances from prone or shooting from a bench. I have a trigger stick bipod as well as a long sitting versapod gun attached bipod but it also seems a bit too jumpy. I'm thinking of changing to a tripod. Any suggestions for a tripod? I was thinking in addition to use as shooting platform if it could also be used for my spotting scope / binoculars then that would be a big plus. I was thinking of the primos trigger stick tripod - what are other people using? Due to my build, I have a hard time putting my elbows into my thighs but what I've seen is some people use shooting sticks for the back of the gun or hug their backpack under their elbows in the sitting position. Any tips for sitting and shooting long distance? [/QUOTE]
