[QUOTE="jackem, post: 1003924, member: 42026"] It's a good thread; even exotic calibers are only as good as the set up. As far as terrain, my happy hunting grounds are the canyons of Western CO which offers some brushy, steep terrain where it's impossible to shoot prone. Any tripod sturdy enough to be solid will in a pain to carry, and an even bigger pain to get set up on a steep hillside -used one last year. This year I used a set of Atlas bipods with extensions, one set a yard long for steep down-hill shots. I also used the bipod with extensions stuck in the ground to rest bino's on while sitting and glassing which worked so well it kept getting "borrowed". (Things that are simple, and serve more than one purpose, get the nod in my gear selection:) Although not answering your question directly, going from tripods to a bipod with some home-made extensions proved to be better, quicker, lighter, and steadier - in field conditions - which I assumed :) to be the reason all of us spend our money on tripods, bipods, etc. in the first place. Best in your quest, Jack [/QUOTE]
