Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

I attached a cheap fishing rod extendable rod rest to one tripod leg to support the rear of the rifle.
I could easily hit a sheep size rock at 600y across the valley with my 308.

clivej,

I replaced the original cross strap on my tripod with a longer one which allows the tripod to deploy lower. Better for sitting and setting up in award places
