I'm also having difficulty working out whether there's much difference (that would matter to me) between the Primos Gen 2 and Gen 3 tripods, particularly regarding the OP's original question as to whether the earlier reliability problems have been resolved with the Gen 3 tripod. Does anyone here have any experience with the Primos Gen 3 tripod, and can they make a comparison with the Gen 2?

With the Veo’s tiny footprint, I had plenty of room inside the hide, and once I had set the height to where I knew from experience most shots would come, the tilt feature became a real bonus. If you're moving from place to place, you're camping or on a long trip then you might want to consider a telescopic bipod. The benefit of being able to fold it down small is that it can be safely stowed away and easily carried around. The other major advantage is that you effectively have two bipods in one, covering you for multiple scenarios: folded for use down on the ground, or extended to shoot standing up.

Joe favours off-the-shelf factory Hornady Superformance ammo for his Tikka T3 Lite in .204 Ruger as he doesn’t have the time or inclination to reload at home. Although it costs more, he feels it’d take a long time to fire enough shots to pay for all the reloading equipment and, as its performance is so good, he also gains confidence by using it. Its length is 54 Inches which allows most people a comfortable shooting position. It also comes with an extension if required. This compact bipod is great for all your shooting and hunting needs, including tactical training, competition shooting, and hunting. This makes this dependable bipod the ideal accessory for any shooting situation, including prone shooting.

In this enterprise I have chosen to focus on four experienced fox shooters, including me, Paul, my usual shooting partner, and Olly and Joe, who both generally shoot on their own. Rifles and ammo for foxing There are three feet options. A set of push-on rubber caps is ideal for concrete or gravel. Pull them off and metal stubs are revealed for grass. Finally, a set of round plastic mud feet can be screwed into place. Knobloch make a very good and lightweight collapsible telescopic tripod, but it ain’t cheap, it is however considerably lighter than the Primos tripods, though takes longer to set; it is (generally) a quieter tripod than the Primos too.

Like Olly, I also use .204 Ruger and hand-load with 39-grain Sierra BlitzKing bullets and Federal primers, but I use them over Hodgdon BL-C(2) powder inside Hornady brass. These are fired through my Kimber Montana. My view is that having confidence in your shot is everything, and if I believe my ammunition is the best I can make it, I’ll shoot better. I test a lot of gear over the course of a year. Most of it is good and every so often I am so impressed with a new piece of kit that I decide to incorporate it into my own shooting gear line-up. That doesn’t happen very often though, as I like to keep a fairly small core itinerary of gear so it feels familiar despite the constant coming and going of review equipment.

The field test for the HSF Tripod was a night-time ratting trip. I had to sit in a squelchy farmyard, which wasn’t a problem thanks to the mud feet. The HSF Tripod gave me an extremely stable platform to enjoy a productive night’s sport.

I know of people who have had nothing but trouble with their "trigger" tripods (yes Vernon, I mean you), but I don't yet know of anyone who regrets buying a set of the bog-pods. So I bought the bog-pods. The might not suit everyone, especially on really rough ground, but they suit me for shooting in the Cotswold's and down in Wiltshire with Stan. The feet have rubber caps; there are no options for grass or mud, although they worked just as well in the field as they did around the farm.

There’s little to choose between two of the tested products – the Vanguard Pro T68 and the Ultrec Tripod. Both will last you a long time and won’t let you down in the field. Ultimately, though, the Vanguard just gets the nod thanks to fantastic build quality and a few more design features.” Heavyweight or those with multiple accessories might be okay for the range. But if you intend to haul it ten miles up a valley, then weight might well be an issue.
