You need to know a few things about how our scope stands and thread systems work, in order to correctly choose the parts for the scope stand you have in mind.
All the rod sections employ our tapered thread system. This system replaces the straight thread system perviously used.
You cannot mate taper threaded rods to the straight threaded rods. Click here to view thread info.
Our taper threaded system uses two kinds of rods; base or bottom rods and extension rods.
The extension rods have a male thread on one end and a female thread on the other and these rods will screw into any other taper threaded rod.
The Total Eclipse base and the Eclipse base have a threaded spindle in the base.
This spindle accepts all our taper threaded extensions.
The Outrigger can clamp to any 1" diameter round rod or tube at either end.
Our original Classic system uses bottom rods have a female taper thread on their top end and are unthreaded on the bottom end.
There is a side hole in the rod for securing it in the Classic Base.
A setscrew in the base passes through this hole to bind against a delrin
base plug which in turn pushes the tube against the opposite side of the tripod base.
Classic Base A traditional tripod with a base circle of 24-1/2". For 1" diameter rods and tubes. The scope mounting face is 4-3/4" from the rod centerline. The legs are 12-7/8" long. With scope turned up the mounting screw is 2-5/32" from the rod centerline. |

1. Will I use my setup while sitting in a chair or stool to score other shooters?
If yes, then you will want at least a total of 36" above ground. 2. Do I shoot offhand with the scope behind me? If yes, then you will need at least the distance to your eye while standing. 3. Do I need my stand to break down to a smaller size for air travel or other transportion? If yes, then do not specify the 48" one-piece rod. 4. I am not taller than 6'2". If yes, to #2 and #4 is no then 48" total rod is sufficent with scopes having angled eye pieces. |
