Which Tripod Vise For Shooting

[Foster Hunter]

Looking at getting a vice/ clamp for my RRS Ascend Tripod. Anyone have any head to head comparisons of the RRS Vyce, Reaper Grip or Hog Saddle.

I have a reaper and it's awesome. I don't have any experience with the others.

I have the vyce. It is rock solid with their tripods, very quick and easy to open and clamp it down on a rifle. I haven't used any others but it is great, highly recommend.

I have the bog pod death grip on their carbon fiber tripod. I haven't used anything else to compare it to but I'm very happy with it

I have the outdoorsman TriClaws clamp .
Works great Very fast and easy to use with their quick change system and solid !!

I've tried them all and currently have a RRS Vyce that sits in the closet. I have found the best option (for me) is adding an arca plate to my rifles and doing a direct attach. Cuts down on weight and has less wobble. You can also swap out for a spotting scope or bino mount easily. Area 419 makes some nice arca plates and Salmon river solutions has a great plate with both Arca and Picatinny with a curved interface that will match well to a rounded style hunting stock. If you are interested, I'll give you a good deal on the Vyce. Just PM me.

I'm also a convert over to the arca clamp / rail combo. I use a small 3" Henderson rail on my rifles and they are the ticket.

I have a HOG Saddle but I'm currently trying to convert my rifles over to an ARCA setup. HOG is a bit heavy but built like a tank and extremely easy to use. I'm just switching some rifles to ARCA so it's one less thing to carry with me. My latest two Manners stocks even have them incorporated into the stock from the factory (LRH models).

I've had a Hog Saddle for a few years.
Arca rail is much more stable

I like the versatility of a Hog Saddle. I can clamp a spotting scope or range finder in it quickly. I have used it as a rear rest while in a box blind while bagging the fore end. Some have the opinion that the hard mount of an ARCA mount causes more rifle bounce than the soft mount of a Hog Saddle. I don't have any personal experience with the ARCA.

I've got the reaper. My only complaint, they used left handed thread…drives me crazy.
