In season 10 of Meateater, Steve goes on a pronghorn hunt with Luke Combs. Luke uses a rifle rest that I cannot find on the internet. It seems like it's attached to a vortex tripod.

Here's a screenshot:

I like this rest for two reasons. It cradles the rifle making it more steady/easier to shoot (my opinion). It also attaches to a tripod (I think). I spend a lot of time using a tripod and spotting scope looking for game, so pretty much always have a tripod when I hunt. Being able to switch out and quickly stabilize on a tripod would be a lot better than carrying two, at least for backpack hunts.

Anyone know what this is or where I can buy one?

I actually have that one. It's GREAT for kids. And ok for adults. It's tall enough for kids to shoot standing. Adults need to sit or kneel. Also it is it's own tripod, so there's no weight savings. But anyone reading this, it's a very steady rest for kids standing or sitting and adults sitting or kneeling.

Oh haha, no. The new one must not be as tall as the old one.

for that price the Bog pods death grip looks darn right affordable

I'll probably stick with the Eagleye pool noodle version for that price tag.

Uh I def would go with the Caldwell Deadshot Field Tripod. It cost less than $100 or used to, and I can attest to putting like 3 seasons worth of use in one on it. No problems, works great, lighr weight and far more supporting than the one on meat eater IMO.

The Death Grip can go from standing to sitting. Perfect for kids or adults. We’ve even used it in 2 man ladder stands.

Check out the Hog saddle.
Put that on a Manfrotto tripod and ball head
About $700, but precision shooting.
It may be the best, who knows?

That works too.
The Primos trigger stick one leg is a great tool for much less $.

on the cheap a set of shooting sticks https://www.varmintal.com/abifu.htm can be very handy I know not what the OP is looking for but might help someone else

I have thought about cutting some willow and making sets to just leave in my hunting spots with tarred bank line holding them together

but really I never shoot that far in my spots usually can't see much more than 80-100 yards so I just use the sling
