Description

Our most popular complete Tripod Kit.

Total Tripod kit Weight 8 lbs



Complete kit: Includes

Heavy-duty Shadow tech olive drab tripod with weight hook and screw in ground spikes.   At 5lbs 6oz vs around 3lbs 6oz for carbon fiber (Tripod only), if 2lbs won't break you, the aluminum field tripod is my pick in any circumstance that weight isn't extremely critical.  The "grunt" of tripods, this thing might not be quite as light as some of its carbon fiber competitors but it matches or excels them in other categories.

3/8" and 1/4" double connector plate. (eliminates any mount rotating)

44lb 20KG oversized extreme control HD tripod head  This is a no-name value ball head, but don't let that fool you.  For the cost and weight 1lb 2oz this thing packs a lot of value. (Looking for more precision in your long-range shots check out the premium and extreme kits

PIG0311-G Field Tripod

"The Grunt of Tripods"

NEW PRICING for 2023: Due to price increases on raw materials, we unfortunately had to modify our retail pricing. To make up for this price increase, we doubled the strength of the leg stop shims, and updated the leg locks to be user adjustable. The new leg locks are stronger and increase the load rating to 34 lbs. All other features will remain the same. 

*PIG0311-G shooting tripod is sold as the tripod legs alone. A Saddle or ball head would be an additional purchase.*

The PIG0311-G Field Shooting Tripod is based off of the budget friendly and capable SLIK DX700 PRO tripod. We partnered up with SLIK, and started putting together several prototypes with beefed up specs, tighter tolerances, and shooter specific features. After 8 months of testing , we came up with the PIG0311 Field Shooting Tripod. During testing, we used several .50 caliber rifles (Barrett M107 & McMillan Tac50) with great results from officer feedback and reported repeatable shot placement. Being unsure of what kind of garage cannon that might be placed on the tripod itself, we decided on a conservative 34 pound load rating. The PIG0311-G was designed for the active outdoorsman; meant to get dirty, thrown in trucks, and used outside often. Paired with a direct mounted HOG Saddle® or PIG Saddle®, this shooting tripod can do almost anything a more expensive tripod kit can do, but at a fraction of the cost.

PIG0311-G Field Shooting Tripod Features: 

  • The center column allows the shooter to get down to a 11.5” high prone position.
  • The center column can rotate a full 360°.
  • A removable, load bearing hook has been added to the bottom of the center column to hang weight.
  • The tripod’s feet incorporate interchangeable rubber or spiked feet (both included in the box) 
  • A heavy-duty 34 pound load capacity. 
  • Lightweight magnesium body with aluminum legs. 
  • Three section extending legs with adjustable cam levers.   
  • Lightweight nylon carry bag included.
  • Matte OD Green Finish.

Pig saddle/tripod review
I've been able to use this tripod for several weeks now for hog hunting and target shooting. So far it has held up tight and I have been very impressed. If you have not added up the numbers in your head this thing is heavy though and the bag that comes with it is not gonna last too many trips. However, I don't think its so heavy to stop me from packing it in a few miles. The ball head in this package is okay but not great. The panning collar/waist tracks smooth and seems to be sturdy. The ball head locks up well ,when using my tikka tac a1, however, it seems to have trouble locking a 14.5 PWS rifle(as in I really have to crank down on that tension knob). This is definitely because the AR is much more back heavy. But I did not have issues with it last time I was out. Of course, if I want to replace the head its a simple matter of money and spinning off the old one. While the pig saddle has some deflection when cranked down and has a little wiggle with the rifle, it certainly deals with recoil well. Also I can stick literally anything in it from my phone to a 9 iron.
Finally, I had a great experience with CS! They were able to answer any questions I had and followed up to make sure my order was right since I am an out of state college student and the addresses didn't match.

Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and would buy from this company again!
