PRST Shooters Tripod

[Nordic Marksman]

Sweet new product, designed in Norway by Military snipers, the P.R.S.T Tripod. At last true shooters tripod.
We just received a sample of these amazing tripods made in Norway by Mission Critical Designs.

Super nice piece of kit...We love them!

This is a no nonsense carbon fiber tripod specifically made for rifle shooting. Light enough to take out on a hunt, and rugged enough to withstand military duty. Of course you can always mount your favorite Camera up top as well. We are importing these tripods directly from Norway resulting in our savings being passed on to you.

We are doing a pre order on these for the first shipment. If you want in, drop us a note and we will put you on the list. Payment due when the order arrives in Canada.

Material: Carbon fiber legs with machined aluminum components
Legs: Four section legs with user serviceable cam-lock levers
Finish: OD Green Cerakote
Feet: Includes two interchangeable sets. Rubber feed and spiked steel feet.
Center column: 6.5 inch length. Short enough to splay tripod out for high prone position.
Center column function: The center column not only adjusts vertically, it is able to rotate. A great feature for users who direct mount a saddle to their tripod without a ball head.

I bought a CF tripod at London drugs for $99. That's good enough for this guy. $500 tripod lol does it come with the hog saddle?

I'm curious what action that rifle is using

Looks to be a Badger Ordnance M2013.

Thanks for the price! Will consider it. But I think the rifle is what really got my attention.... Is it a custom rifle? It really looks like an ATRS style...

Has anyone done a review on these? I can't find info anywhere. Even an unboxing vid would be great. I like the price tag (vs a Gitzo at twice the price) but would like more info.

Thanks!

For anyone else looking at these, I'd recommend them. I was kind of nervous as it was a brand I hadn't heard of (I had been pricing out RRS and gitzo prior to picking one of these up). I've only had it out with my spotter so far but I'm very impressed. These are very light for how sturdy they are and fit and finish are superb. I'm going to order a hog saddle to match and I'm sure it will hold up to magnum rifles just fine.

Shadowtech released a tripod that seems like a much better value. Nordic marksmen will probably import it?

They already do import it. The Shadowtech aluminum tripods cost $229.95 CAD, which is an excellent price point for the features. I will be ordering one for my spotting scope/LRF/kestrel to pair with my PRST and HOG Saddle. http://www.nordicmarksman.com/PIG0311-G-Field-Tripod.htmlß

As for the Norwegian PRST, I can attest to everything that vultr said. My initial review is in the Practical Precision Shooting forum here: https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/1605585-Anyone-With-PRST-Tripod-Experience

For the same money, the PRST is much nicer and more stable than the Manfrotto CF tripod that I owned previously. It also has shooter-specific features such as the short centre column, equipment hook and interchangeable feet that the civilIan tripods do not offer. $530 may seem like a lot of money for a tripod, but as with optics you get what you pay for. If you want CF with its lighter weight and vibration-dampening properties, then you have to pay the going rate. The PRST is hands down the nicest tripod that I have ever handled and is well worth the money. In fact, I don't know how Nordic Marksman can afford to sell them priced so close to the Noregian MSRP with our crappy Canadian dollar....

If you don't want or need the more expensive CF construction offered with the PRST, then I would say that the Shadowtech Aluminum tripod is your best bet. Any direct comparison of the relative value of the PRST versus the Shadowtech tripod is moot as they are really apples and oranges due to their differing materials. The CF simply costs double that of aluminum. I view my gear as an investment, so don't mind paying for premium kit. YMMV, but I can tell you that the real top of the line tripods ( succh as Really Right Stuff) will cost you even more!
