Hog Saddle Tripod Mounted Rifle Rest Improvements

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

Hog Saddle showed us a couple of improvements they made to their tripod mounted rifle rest.

For one thing, they’ve replaced the polymer adjustment knob with a MilSpec aluminum version which is more robust.

Additionally, they’ve added coyote urethane pads as an option.

The mount is solid and will hold all but the most unbalanced rifle in place so that the shooter can accomplish other tasks. Additionally, spotters have begun to adopt the Hog Saddle for their spotting scopes.

One final feature that bears mentioning is that the Hog Saddle does not require an adapter and can be attached directly to any 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 thread attachments. This can be a huge space and weight savings.

Hog Saddle Tripod Mounted Rifle Rest

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

Designed by a Marine Scout Sniper and OIF Veteran, the patent pending Hog Saddle is a rugged, lightweight (16 oz), mobile shooting platform that has been designed from the ground up to universally attach to tripod-based modular equipment, providing the shooter with a stable shooting position adaptable to any environment. These are in use now with military and LE shooters.

The Hog Saddle is built around four principles:

RUGGEDNESS – Specifically designed for the military sniper to be impact and corrosion resistant
PORTABILITY – 16 oz
VERSATILITY – Universal to any tripod platform utilizing 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 thread attachments
AMERICAN MADE – They didn’t sell out and go to Asia or India. They have kept their business in the USA

The Hog Saddle is CNC machined from a solid block of aluminum and then hard anodized and features a black oxide stainless steel bolt and guide rods. Adjustments are via a heavy-duty torque knob. Other components work in concert to mitigate noise and hold the weapon fast. There is a stainless steel noise dampening tension spring as well as 1/4 inch thick, recessed urethane pads specifically engineered to absorb rifle recoil and reduce muzzle jump.
