Tell me what tripod

[omt223]

I've spent about 6 hours staring at all of the options. I do not have the time to use it heavily so I am not going with something like RRS etc. (just cant justify it). I have been looking at the Leofotos, Inorells, and I also have access via Expertvoice to the Athlon Midas but its about 50.00 more than I'd like to spend, which is ~300 or less.
I'd like something with beefy legs on the large end. A ball head can be bought separately or as a package if you know of one.
Below is the Midas.

What's your plan with it, does portability play a factor in this decision or not?

Weight doesn't matter to me when using a tripod so I'd go with this one:

PIG0311 Field Tripod

triadtactical.com

I normally use a huge Davis & Sanford that doubles for my spotting scope tripod, it's got to weigh 10# at least, but I'm shooting from a ground blind and never moving.

A really popular tripod is the Innorel RT90C. Available on Amazon for $330.

Its a plus if its more portable; I will use it to hunt incidentally but probably just range use 80% of the time

Have a leofoto and love it, use it on coyotes, won't leave the pickup without it. Have the gun clamp on it, simple to use have had it for 2 years. Gun is rock steady in it.

So who makes it and what model is it?

Does anyone on here use one of these? Wondering you opinions on it after using it and if it is tall enough for standing shots and works well prone too?

A very well-liked tripod is the Vortex Radian Carbon.

Should check out a bog pod. I have been using one for the 2nd season of dog hunting now and it is a great product. Has a cant level built onto it, fully adjustable for prone, sitting/kneeling and standing shooting. Clamps work extremely well and this thing holds up to the harsh weather. Very well made product in my opinion and within your price range you mentioned. It is also easy to carry afield as that was a concern for me when out for coyotes and moving constantly..

I used an Innorrell RT80 for a couple of years. Not a lot of use, a few days practicing at the range and a couple of hunting trips. This year, while elk hunting, one of the small plastic tabs broke so you could not extend that leg. sucked, but it does happen. The fix was inexpensive and easy, just beware.

omt223: I have a similar question: what bi-pod will latch this sling stud? It's on a 1967 BAR 30-06. I have a Caldwell bipod and the rebate on the stud prevent it from latching to the stud..........
