Thinking outside the box here. Has anyone tried repurpose a tripod that was originally used in shooting grades on elevation for dirt work. I can’t remember exactly what the job title would be.

Using a dirt contractor tripod and adding your own head on it to suit your needs for shooting off tripod.

I have an old but in great shape Bosch BT152 contractor tripod and am curious if anyone else has repurposed one similar to this.

I am always trying to find other uses out of gear that I already have. Thanks ahead.

Sounds really heavy.  Can it be setup to get close to the ground?

Yes, I've seen it done in PRS-type events. Not like you are running around much.

It’s not near as heavy as my SLIK Pro 700DX.

It’s not designed to go low though.

I can’t find anywhere that it’s being used for rifle mount of any type. I’ve been looking but no luck just yet.

I've seen them used for rear stability. The rifle does not attach to the tripod, but the shooter braces the buttstock against the the tripod leg while resting the handguard on a prop/rest. Works well.
