Anyone use a shooting tripod?

That has become my go-to AR15 really. I spent the last 3 years working with it almost exclusively of all my rifles, whenever I went out to shoot anything of distance.
This has really increased my confidence with it, especially for making 1st-round hits on even 12" steel plates out to 600yds, which isn't easy with a 7lb 12oz gun.
I need to finish my 22" Lilja build for a more dedicated target rifle, which might really put my .260 Rem out to an even longer pasture.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

I've been eyeing the Caldwell Deadshot Fieldpod https://www.amazon.com/Caldwell-Dead.../dp/B00VI45OSK 5lbs and has been on sale as low as $50 within the last year. I thought about making a shooting tripod but once I saw this for $50-80 I'm not sure I could make something better, lighter and for the same price or less. Some of these components for these tripods are pricey. I also have a pair of shooting sticks that I made.Last edited by mateba; 05-04-2017, 09:51 AM.

Just an idea in case you're interested - My Grendel came with a bright shiny stainless barrel like yours. I roughed it up a little bit with some fine sandpaper and hit it with a few coats of Rustoleum High Temp engine paint and it turned out great. Really easy way to subdue that shiny barrel. The black turns out looking very matte, almost more gray than black.

I do all my own Cerakote work.
There are at least 2 build threads on it here.
I used a Lilja 318 barrel, which they don't make anymore unfortunately.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO
