Hey thanks for the picture!

I'll keep the question up for those that might have done with/ or without success but  I think I'll ask the techs at vortex and see what there opinion is. Still Vortex is top notch. Probably just going to persuade me into getting there tripod also.

once upon a time, there existed a v attachment that quick released into some of the quick release tripod heads specifically for use as a rest to make it that much more stable

A V mounted bracket would be nice but it's one more piece of equipment to carry in the back country. I'll have to look into it.

I have a viper hd 15-45x 60 spotter on a vanguard tripod. I would have no worries about setting my rifle across it and shooting. The scope and tripod both have a warranty. And if it can't hold up to that it isn't too tough anyhow. My spotter fell out of my truck when I opened the door once and landed on the objective lens bell... it smacked hard. Still works great with no ill affects. It does wear the neoprene cover fulltime.

That's good to hear bullblaster...you are correct. I figure if it can't take the kick it probably isn't heavy duty enough. I'm pretty sure it shouldn't have a problem though. Maybe once I get my tripod of choice I'll go shoot my gun off it. Ill post pics.

Oh that was my other question.....

Do all of you guys use a scope cover. Those that have em would yah recommend em?

Bull blaster how much was your spotter cover and do you like it?

The neopren cover came with my spotter. It was a pain to put on but I love it. Protects the scope well and has attached lens covers. They are attached with elastic bands. Just stretch them on or off.
