2 Primos Trigger Stick Apex

Being able to achieve a steady shot when hunting in rugged terrain is no easy task. Enter the Primos Trigger Stick Apex. Its super-strong yet lightweight 100-percent carbon-fiber legs deploy fast and adjust on the fly to create a level sighting picture on even the trickiest terrain with just a squeeze of the stick’s trigger. The rock-solid Apex Frame design allows quick adjustment and smooth panning to keep heavier rifles on target; the frame also allows adjustments from a low sitting position to a nearly six-foot-high standing position. The Trigger Stick’s design will also appeal to hunters because it allows one-hand adjustments.

The rugged construction supports a massive 50-pound load capacity, and the removable mounting plate sourced from Spartan Precision Technology makes switching from spotting scope to gun yoke quick and easy in the field. SRP: $549.99. (primos.com)
