Woodlander Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Prone shooting is becoming a pain in the neck after a few minutes and wondered how’s best to go from a rail on the underside of the stock to my old Manfrotto tripod, or maybe a lighter upgrade, the Innorel tripod seems light and good value. Or is a monkey clamp an easier option? This is all new to me. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlts Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Put an ARCA rail on the underside of your stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodlander Posted February 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I’m not sure it’s possible on the chassis I have. Nowhere to fix it on the underside, just a 3 inch pic rail up front, which thinking about it, is probably too far forward from the point of balance.

Woodlander Posted February 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 It’s a GRS Bolthorn, bought 2nd hand off here. In hindsight, not the most versatile chassis on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarinePMI Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 You might be able to fit a Sawtooth ARCA rail to that GRS stock... Shoot them an email, he may be interested in making one for the GRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodlander Posted March 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Thanks Marine, I bought the Rekon adapter. The Bolthorn stock has a couple of rails up front, even the rearmost is a little farther forward than is ideal, but I have a very sturdy ball head that should hold it steady.

A universal ARCA rail from MDT would be my choice that way you could utilise some of the existing threaded holes in the Bolthorn chassis.

MarinePMI Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 A Sawtooth ARCA rail on my AI. FYI: The anvil 30 ball head in this photo will latch to picatinny, as well as ARCA, rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
