Leupold 181303 Tripod Shooting Saddle - Beige Resin Rest

The Leupold 181303 Tripod Shooting Saddle transforms any standard tripod into a precision shooting platform. This beige resin rest eliminates the need for expensive dedicated shooting tripods while providing the stability required for long-range accuracy.

What Makes This Different

Unlike basic rifle rests that require dedicated stands, this saddle adapts to existing photography or surveying tripods with standard 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 mounting threads. The V-shaped cradle design accommodates both traditional and modern rifle stocks, from lightweight hunting rifles to heavy precision chassis systems. The non-slip surface maintains grip without marking expensive finishes.

Key Features

• Universal tripod compatibility with standard 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threading
• V-shaped cradle design fits round, octagonal, and flat-bottom stocks
• Durable beige resin construction resists weather and impact damage
• Non-marring surface protects rifle finishes during extended shooting sessions
• Compact 6.2-inch length allows easy transport in range bags
• Textured grip surfaces prevent rifle movement during recoil
• Compatible with bipod-equipped rifles when folded forward

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA groups when paired with quality tripods and proper shooting technique. The stable platform proves especially valuable for prairie dog hunting, long-range target shooting, and precision rifle competitions where prone positions aren't feasible. The resin material maintains performance in temperatures from -20°F to 140°F without becoming brittle or soft.
