We introduced 60" scope stand at Camp Perry in 2003. For the following year, this 60" stand out sold the 48" Classic by a ratio of 2:1. Naturally, we brought twice as many 60" stands as Classics to Perry in 2004. Much to our surprise, the Classic (and the 2-piece 48") quickly out sold the 60" stand on Commercial Row.

We believe when people can't see the scope stands, as in Internet sales, they buy the taller stand just to be sure. However, at Perry, many shooters could see the difference and then realized that the 48" stands were a better fit for them.

If you have an angled eye-piece scope and are 6'2" tall or less, you can use a four foot stand without difficulty. If you have a straight scope, or position your scope behind you (opposite side from rifle in offhand), you may prefer the 60" stand.

This page is intended to address some of the questions we are often asked about our tripods.

• Our scope stands are made from sturdy materials and will provide years of trouble free service.
• The base and the legs are aluminum.
• The shafts are 304 Stainless Steel. The carry knob is acetal (Delrin).
  Solid steel Freeland 5/8" rods weigh over one pound per foot. Our stainless tube weighs about 5/8 pound per foot.
• The bottom shafts are secured by a unique clamping system using a acetal plug and a setscrew.
  This system has a dampening component that helps minimize vibrations.
• The legs are tensioned using a spring washer that holds them wherever you put them. When you lift the stand up to move it, they will not fall down. The legs stop in both directions against machined shoulders in the base. When deployed, you can stand on the base. It is a very strong system. The legs are shown in the secured position on the NM 2 x 2 stand.
• To deploy the legs, rotate them CCW roughly 3/4 of a circle to the bottom stops. The legs never touch each other. To secure the legs for transport or storage, rotate CW to the upper stops. Click here to see animation
• We do not advise removing your scope from the scope head because it causes undue wear on the threads in the scope. If you intend to remove your scope from the head for transport and storage, we recommend adding the quick detach to your order. When you order a QD with a head or stand, it comes assembled. All you do is attach your scope.
