Makes sense. Just trying not to buy more stuff. Maybe gf has a lightweight camera tripod. I still can't envision the mount it's not on the bottom of the scope.Dedicate a different tripod to the spotting scope. Keep the shooting pod what it is. (I'd go with something smaller for the scope.)
I believe...yes! I knew it!! I just KNEW i heard the VOICE OF EXPERIENCE!Careful with going too light on the tripod, those spotting scopes are heavy and you don't want your expensive glass to hit the ground.
You do realize that you're talking to the guy with a swaro carbon tripod, right?I believe...yes! I knew it!! I just KNEW i heard the VOICE OF EXPERIENCE!

Redfield 15-45x (60's-70's vintage). The glass is incredible. My Dad put this together for spotting Antelope from the rig. The carbine stock he put it on (junk then) might bring more money now than the scope.
Heavier (more stable) tripod also induces less movement into the optic which is critical to getting the most out of a high magnification optic.Careful with going too light on the tripod, those spotting scopes are heavy and you don't want your expensive glass to hit the ground.
Have heard good things about Kahles and is on my want to try list. I would like to see how it compares to Nightforce, Swaro and ZCO, I expect glass on par with Swaro and ZCO, better than Nightforce. Though really more interested in accuracy of tracking and where it stacks up. Have you tried out one of these Horus CATS charts? https://www.horusvision.com/how-to-ensure-your-scope-is-tracking-accurately/New glass.

I've got two Kahles k525i scopes that are waiting on rifles to be built, so I haven't gotten them installed yet. Swarovski owns Kahles, and the glass is supposed to be the same. I do have the Swaro ATX 65x, and the glass in phenomenal. Same with the Swaro SLC binos.Have heard good things about Kahles and is on my want to try list.

I have a couple but haven't gotten a chance to run any of my optics on it yet.
I have a Swaro X5, SLC 15x Binos (my most loved optic), 10x EL Range, ATX95. While the spotter has great glass, it rarely gets used because the mirage at long range makes it just about worthless compared to the SLC 15x bino's. Have heard the exact same thing on Kahles glass and expect it compares or is identical to that in my X5 scope.I've got two Kahles k525i scopes that are waiting on rifles to be built, so I haven't gotten them installed yet.

GA PrecisionWho is building your rifles and what are some specs?
That 300PRC build should be a hammer! Been debating on a 300 magnum build and narrowed down to either a 300 Norma AI or 300 PRC. The Norma suits what I want to do better with less effort to reach the velocities I want with the 230gr bergers but comes with all the limitations of options for the larger bolt face and action.GA Precision
