The first word that comes to mind when I see the Recon V2 is clean. Two-Vets Sporting Goods - Recon V2 with 55mm Dual Tension Ballhead and Area 419 Arcalock Clamp (Photo by Ben LaLonde) The TFCT 34-L with Anvil-30 ARC head comes in with an MSRP of $1,580.00, making it the highest-priced option on our list. The legs have three adjustable positions with ratcheting locks that automatically engage when adjusting from horizontal to vertical positions. Even at its tallest, 45lbs is generous, and will cover most heavy long range platforms. This particular model, the TCFT 34L with the Anvil 30 ARC, extends to over six feet tall at its highest point, and can support anywear from 45 to 85lbs, depending on how high you extend its four sections. The hinges are also vented, preventing airlock when deploying and collapsing the legs. Because of the way the legs are offset in their hinges, they are able to fold in nice and tight to each other, keeping their packing dimensions to a minimum. Lastly, the throw lever now features a paddle style safety lock to prevent accidental release of the clamp.Īs for the legs, The US-made carbon fiber legs are incredibly stout, even for their comfortably narrow dimensions. This allows you to set the jaws to the appropriate tension needed for your ARCA or Picatinny rails. The newest ARC head also features toolless tension adjustment for the Patent-pending dual-rail style clamp. Even if you have ARCA plates without holes for the pin, the rail clamp can still be used in its traditional configuration. The R-lock provides supplemental security to your rifle mount in the form of a pin that locks into holes machined along the underside of RRS’s quick-release ARCA-Swiss Style plates. It also features the all-new R-Lock System. The most up-to date version still features RRS’s easy to use lever-release, but it is now repositionable for tailoring to your preference. It has seen a few iterations over the last few years. Their compact but lightweight Anvil-30 ARC head is both ergonomic and feature packed. Every single part of each tripod is designed, made, and hand-assembled right here in the USA. Their Sport Optics and Rifle division has kept ahead of the curve with highly engineered, durable, and lightweight tripods capable of supporting even the heaviest of rifle platforms. RRS began as a photography equipment company in 1990, designing and creating more consistent and well-thought-out quick-release plates, tripods, and other accessories.

Those aren’t exhaustive lists, but they’re there to be thought provoking when looking for your next shooting support. Bubble levels - Most every rifle I own has a bubble on the scope or action itself, but having one more to reference never hurts. ![]() It’s one less thing I have to think about when changing shooting positions quickly. ![]() Spring-loaded ratcheting angle locks - Again, my preference.Vented hinges - At the top of the legs, vent holes make deployment of the legs fast and worry-free.There are a few variations of it on the market, but at its core, it is the gold standard for rifle mounting. ARCA-Swiss style clamps - Clamps to secure the 1.5-inch wide dovetail rails provide fast and secure mounting options for rifles.Big rubber feet - rubber is a shock absorber, and as such, rubber feet on the ground help absorb and distribute recoil.These can be used in any combination for variations of prone, kneeling, and standing shots. Multiple leg angles - again, all tripods tested featured three angle positions.To make my shot more stable, I can tie off to heavy objects, or even myself if need be. Counterweight point - Every tripod I tested for this write-up features one, most often in the form of a hook or loop located directly under the head.I want knobs, levers, and dials I can quickly operate one-handed without stressing. Easy adjustments - Holding a rifle for a precise shot is enough to think about.It needs to support my rifle and any weight I put onto it while stabilizing my shot. ![]()
