Thanks!

Yes, mounted an Arca plate in front of the mag well. Quick in and out.

I get what you are saying. And, I totally agree. Getting a prone shot can be quite rare. I am the same way, I shoot to be a better hunter. I guess I am tacticool where it works, so I run a tripod. The only reason I do the tacticool stuff is cause it works as a hunter. Tripods are awesome, really only beaten by a bipod with rear bag. I wouldn't waste weight carrying the long legs for a bipod when I already have my tripod.

Pretty sure Modular Evolution has long legs to swap in for seated.

It can be slow, yup. Definitely a learning curve to it as well. It is just another tool. I have practiced, so I feel comfortable deploying it pretty fast. If needed, I just shoot off a bag on top. If deer are moving, it seems like an eternity to set up everything. But, bedded, they work great.

For a quicker shot, I shoot right off the tripod, but I toss a lightweight shooting bag over it so I don't have hard to hard contact. I shoot the local PRS matches to improve my skills, and I use the shooting bag over all sorts of stuff. I taught two new hunters how to shoot off the top of a tripod in the kneeling position. Dad carried the tripod, pointed one leg towards the deer and set the bag on top of it. The kids were taught to point the rifle the way the front leg was pointing, and how to find the deer over the top of the scope and then move to the sight picture. They were very fast to acquire the target and made perfect shots. I had them practice with my .22 rifle, and it made a huge difference.

Harris for the money, swivel with notched legs and get a Pod Lock so you can lock the rifle level. Tripods are great. I shot a blacktail at 575 yards across a canyon from this position. I watched the bullet hit the buck and lay him down. I could have followed up with a shot immediately if necessary. I could shoot this almost as steady as prone. The pic doesn't show it, but I am on the side of a steep mountain. I can shoot with it standing, sitting, and it will lay out prone, but I prefer a bipod at that point. I think the best are to get an ARCA rail section mounted on your rifle and use a heavy duty tripod with a solid ball head. I switched to a heavier rated ball head, but this cheap one worked. The triclawps, pig/hog saddle, etc. are OK, but not as steady, IMO. Controlling recoil is a big part of it, and having it directly linked to the tripod is best.

Savage Long Range Hunter, 338 Lapua, good condition, a couple hundred down the tube. Has a rattle can finish on it. I have a couple dozen Hornady brass I shot through it. This is the older version, has the cheek rest.

Picked up a very nice used Savage model 11 off this site, but never got around to shooting it. I have a total of three mags for it as well as the factory rings. Will post pics later.

Scope and rings not included, either. That's what rifle only means.

Rifle only, extra barrel is sold.

I have a couple overstock Proof carbon fiber barrels for sale. These are threaded Savage prefit and muzzle break. See the picture for details on them. $695 PM for more information.

I haven't been out that direction. I might be out by Ben Avery at a match Saturday, deciding whether I hit a match in New Mexico instead. And, I must not have seen this earlier.

Still for sale. Have it and the extra magazines too.

Very good condition 10/22 takedown with tactical stock and like new wood stock (took it off when I got the rifle and never used it). It is the 50th anniversary version. Includes 3 of the 10 round mags and 1 of the 25 round mag, all Ruger. Comes with an aftermarket scope rail, and I believe I can find the factory rail. Comes with the factory bag, and I might have the paperwork and lock for it as well, but I moved some stuff and am still looking for it. Over $500 bucks into this thing, looking to sell for $350. East Valley. Will post pics up later.
