The utilization of some sort of stabilizing device for rifle shooting is as old as rifles themselves. First, it was a couple of sticks lashed together as shooters took aim at deer, elk, and anything else that would hit the dinner table. As decades flew by, the refinement of these sticks began. Today, we have access to incredible products, with my favorite being tripods. Once just repurposed heavy camera tripods, we now have gear dedicated to the shooting world. However, one of the biggest jumps forward has been in the actual head mount on the tripod. While there have been some good ones, today, we have the release of what I believe is the new gold standard. The Vortex Pro Rifle Clamp Tripod Mount.

Versatile Stability – The Vortex Pro Rifle Clamp Tripod Mount
The challenge we face with many mounts is speed and mobility. The new Mount solves that. With this new mount, you don’t have to modify your stock or carry extra tools. All you have to do is mount the clamp to your favorite platform, and you get hair-splitting accuracy from your rifle, shotgun, and crossbow. Western and predator hunters and any shooter who values rapid deployment and no-slip security will love how the Pro Rifle Clamp Tripod Mount fits their hunt.
Paired With a Vortex Switchback Carbon Tripod
I personally use the mount on the Vortex Switchback Carbon tripod because it is versatile and lightweight as a complete package. The new mount weighs less than one pound and is ARCA-SWISS compatible, making for an excellent, sturdy connection to the system. The mount is fully and quickly adjustable from 1.3 inches to 3.2 inches, fitting a wide variety of weapons. It has soft Durometer rubber jaws that provide a soft and secure hold while even absorbing recoil.

Vortex Pro Rifle Clamp Tripod Mount
While this system will be great on the range, it shines on hunts. I will save you the long-winded story, but I lost a chance at a monster trophy mule deer last year because my tripod mount from Company X lacked the mobility and speed to set up for the shot. The lesson learned is that I will never be in the field or backcountry without the new Vortex Pro Rifle Clamp Tripod Mount. Mixed with the Vortex Switchback Carbon tripod, I will have the ultimate shooting platform.
