PIG Saddle® Gen2 Arca

Great product! Never shot off one and was hitting targets easily at over 500yds. Make sure you have a good tripod!

The pig saddle is a very good quality piece of work. But being a metal stamping I can see its limitations and the reason that the hog saddle was necessary. For shorter range applications and the price savings over the Hog saddle it meets my needs well. Holds rock solid when torqued tight. The only flaw that I have found is the lack of the hole for the antirotation on the tripod mount. But being from a aerospace background that is no problem for me other customers my not have the same option.

As a farm owner protecting crop fields from prairie dog damage is a necessity. The Pig Saddle greatly increases the accuracy of my 100+ yard shots thus freeing up my time for more important tasks.

A couple decades ago messing with field expedient rigs was, at best, a pain.
This Pig Saddle locks up and holds position with almost zero effort. I put it on an Arca Swiss Z1 Ballhead (59 kg max lock) with Manfrotto sticks and the 16+ pound platform did not budge in any position I tried!

Thanks for you're very reasonable solution to a long standing hitch!

Only tried it twice but fitted to a manfrotto tripod I can shoot 1moa groups where with my Harris 25" bipod I was shooting 2 or worse moa groups. Wish I had bought the hogs saddle rather than the pigs as I believe the hog is a lot lighter. The clamp works well and doesn't leave any marks on the laminate stock even done up tight.
Dose what it says on the tin.

Rock solid mount, easy to install and use. 5 stars would highly recommend. Desi

They were using the pig saddle at the Outdoor Life shooting class at Rifles Only, in Kingsville. Awesome and monkey-proof. I bought two.
Tip: disconnect the rear clip from your sling, then "candy cane" the front of the sling around the trip-pod's vertical post. Slowly twist the sling until the horizontal reticle is pulled down to where you want it. The tension will make it really really stable.

Takes the "wobble" out of my long distance, small target shots.

At first I was hesitant to spend 135.00 on a seemingly unimportant piece of equipment for my tripod. After all, my 50.00, "U" shaped rest had been getting the job done for years..Or so I thought.. After testing out the Pig Saddle extensively, I have concluded that my average group size has been reduced by over 1 MOA at all distances beyond 250 yards. Thus, I have nearly doubled my accuracy with the Pig Saddle. If there's anything I regret about this product, it's not knowing about it years ago.
