Anvil 30Arc ballhead
This is exactly what I wanted with the arca/ picatinny rail combo. Can use tripod for glassing and shooting. But still use bipod also. Holds rifles w/ pic perfect. Go with the best and to heck with the rest.

Outstanding ball head
Super ball head for PRS shooting. Great idea to offer the Anvil-30 by itself as the TFCT tripod Anvil combination is difficult to find. I mounted this on an existing carbon fiber tripod and headed to the range. RRS SOAR has hit it out of the park with the redesign of the Anvil-30 and the new plate.
