It was a long but very interesting evening. It was nice to finish off the night with long range head shots. As we could not pace off the distances of the shots, we used Google and landmarks. We both agree that my shot was farther (with the Grendel). He thinks they are over 250 yards and I think they are just under. Either way, both were long shots and our longest night shots for either of us.

And you know, that post was DRT. I am afraid I have managed to shoot a tree before like that. We knew the area was clear of livestock and so the only thing at risk with an errant shot was blowing the shot. dfwroadkill and I spoke about this and he warned me beforehand about the fencing and so that was the reason we had to approach as closely as possible to try to avoid having that happen. Then the hogs seemed to get wise and decided to leave and he swung through on that last post. It was the very last one, too. My shooting position was to the right...and my recording was off (ERRRRRR!). So the end result was that we got one hog and not two.Kill a hog. Save the planet.

Yes, on the tripods. They are a little heavy and if you don't manage right, can be noisy. I have a jury-rigged carry strap that my partner is testing out as well. It makes stalking a little easier, but slightly more difficult to deploy quickly.Kill a hog. Save the planet.

Very nice. That was some fine shooting at distance gents. For tripod rifle mounting, I highly recommend the HOG or PIG saddles from Hogsaddle.com.
Pretty much the gold standard in rifle mounts for tripods.
You can pull the yoke off the Primo and install the HOG or PIG saddle for a much more stable set-up. The V shaped yoke is not very conducive to keeping the gun stable or level, as you already have seen.
The HOG or PIG on top of Primos will be something you will really enjoy, trust me.Last edited by LRRPF52; 02-08-2016, 04:44 AM.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

As soon as I saw and handled the HOG and PIG saddles, my response was, "Where was this 20 years ago?" Just get the PIG saddle. I like to have them for attendees at my DM courses, and they sell quickly. The PIG saddle is fine.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

Yep, Pig Saddles are still out of stock.
So I tried emailing them via the email on their website. Two tries and two types the email has bounced back.Last edited by Double Naught Spy; 02-08-2016, 05:19 PM.Kill a hog. Save the planet.

Just order from US Tactical Supply. I called up Josh at Hogsaddle.com, and he said everything is working on the email end. He's having a hard time keeping up with demand for them, and said US Tactical Supply, Euro Optics, and another distributor have them.

Well, I sent an email just a minute ago and it didn't bounce this time. So maybe that is back up.
Euro Optics is Out of Stock.
Can't verify "another distributor" LOL
US Tactical does have them. Am ordering 1. I am expecting this to be absolutely amazing when used with Triggersticks based on your suggestion.Kill a hog. Save the planet.
