Trying to help a buddies son get setup for this season.
Looking for a lighter weight tripod/head setup like a Slik 634. Prefer a panhead not a ball head. Tripod only is ok also.
I personally do not consider those a quality choice.
If you’re looking for lightweight style 1pc mounts I’d recommend Hawkins precision or leupold backcountry.
For rings to use on a rail Hawkins precision, seekins, Nightforce and area 419 all make a lot of quality options.
Use good quality rings and torque them and ring marks won’t be a problem. I find it funny people will spend lots of money on a rifle and scope but cry about spending a few more dollars on quality rings.
As others have stated they are a great pant. I have a few pairs that are probably 10 years old and still use them every season. The hip vents are awesome.
I did have a main zipper break but Kuiu fixed them.
I put my app in the day after my CC billing cycle ended. Nothing like using their money although I hope to have to pay it back instead of getting a refund!!
