Every single part of each tripod is designed, made, and hand-assembled right here in the USA. Their Sport Optics and Rifle division has kept ahead of the curve with highly engineered, durable, and lightweight tripods capable of supporting even the heaviest of rifle platforms. RRS began as a photography equipment company in 1990, designing and creating more consistent and well-thought-out quick-release plates, tripods, and other accessories.

Those aren’t exhaustive lists, but they’re there to be thought provoking when looking for your next shooting support. Bubble levels - Most every rifle I own has a bubble on the scope or action itself, but having one more to reference never hurts.It’s one less thing I have to think about when changing shooting positions quickly. Spring-loaded ratcheting angle locks - Again, my preference.Vented hinges - At the top of the legs, vent holes make deployment of the legs fast and worry-free.There are a few variations of it on the market, but at its core, it is the gold standard for rifle mounting. ARCA-Swiss style clamps - Clamps to secure the 1.5-inch wide dovetail rails provide fast and secure mounting options for rifles.Big rubber feet - rubber is a shock absorber, and as such, rubber feet on the ground help absorb and distribute recoil.These can be used in any combination for variations of prone, kneeling, and standing shots. Multiple leg angles - again, all tripods tested featured three angle positions.To make my shot more stable, I can tie off to heavy objects, or even myself if need be.
Counterweight point - Every tripod I tested for this write-up features one, most often in the form of a hook or loop located directly under the head.I want knobs, levers, and dials I can quickly operate one-handed without stressing. Easy adjustments - Holding a rifle for a precise shot is enough to think about.It needs to support my rifle and any weight I put onto it while stabilizing my shot. Stout legs - Strong legs and stiff legs often go hand-in-hand.When looking at tripods for shooting, I personally have a few “must haves,” as well as a few, “prefer to haves.” Anything more is icing on the cake. They're not limited to tradition front-rifle support, but can be used as rear supplementary support as well. Tripods can level the playing field, making difficult shots in awkward positions a lot more manageable. As I learned to shoot rifles from tripods, especially at extended ranges, I found the same to be true. Originally a photographer by trade, I knew even the slightest movement in the wrong conditions would ruin a shot. Early on in life, I learned the value of a quality tripod.
