PIG Saddle® Gen2 Arca

Far exceeded my expectations. Great build quality and easy to manipulate behind the tripod. The threading is very smooth an the rubber padding is very well executed.

Pig Saddle was shipped fast and packaged well. Upon receipt of item, workmanship was nothing short of excellent. Everybody talks about mounting this fine product on a high quality ball head but as a working professional photographer that uses a ball head, mainly my tried and true Manfrotto 468MGRC2 Hydrostatic Ball Head, I actually prefer using my Manfrotto Bogen 3047 Deluxe 3 Way Pan/Tilt Tripod Head. Why you might ask? Since it's a 3 axis locking tripod head, the first thing I do is level the cant of my rifle and lock it down tight, all my rifles scopes have a bubble level. Now that's out of the way, you now only have to deal with windage and elevation and your rifle is always level. Lastly, I set my cross hairs about 3-4 inches below my target an lock down the windage and elevation. Just before I pull the trigger I exert slight downward pressure of rear of rifle stock to bring cross hair exactly on target, and fire at target between the heart beats. This method helps take out most of the wiggle for long range shooting. In conclusion, this product is a winner and your not getting back. Mahalo (Thank you in Hawaiian)

I ordered my Pig saddle which was delivered within a couple of days of order, very fast shipping. The saddle appears to be very high quality and the customer service I received from Josh was amazing. He was able to walk me through my order with everything I needed. Thanks Josh!!

I bought this PIG Saddle with the intention of having my PRS clients rock this saddle at my matches here in Garrison Petawawa, ONTARIO, Canada. This baby feels solid and bombproof enough to take the abuse my clients both new and experienced will give it. I'm looking forward to giving it a workout. I love that tensioning knob, lots of leverage with my support hand while holding (strong hand) my PR rig in position. I like the smooth edges/no burrs finish treatment on the PIG Saddle. I just love the rubber/urethane/padded contact interface. I'm super pleased with the TWO holes on the bottom for 1/4" x 20 AND 3/8" x 16. Then I secured the QR or QD Sunwayfoto plate that I bought for $17. Smart move... the rest of you out there; DON'T buy ONE, buy TWO of them. I'm not joking. That Sunwayfoto plate is the best money I have spent... well so are all the products from these folks.

Three days and two nights in the foothills — camping, hiking, shooting. So much fun . The Pig Saddle mounted atop a very sturdy and durable Slik Pro-Tripod faced tough terrain daily and never once failed to meet expectation. When my rifle was "dialed in" on paper the shooting experience wasn't just great, it was awesome. Most of our shooting was at 150 yards and closer. Rugged, durable, and trustworthy best describe these two pieces of equipment. Highly recommend for a rewarding shooting experience.

Tried my Pig Saddle today. Took it to the range and was able to hit a IPSC size target at 960 yards multiple times. Provided a very stable platform to shoot from. Certainly more stable than an ordinary tripod. Being able to hold your weapon in position will help reduce my acquisition time greatly. The only improvement I would ask for is a quick disconnect lever.

Whether you buy the Hog saddle or the Pig saddle, you are getting a quality well made product that simply works for the purpose it was designed for.

I was a little iffy on this considering my intention was to use this with a belt fed .I have run 3000 rounds through it and the PIG SADDLE has held the rifle steady and secure . Extreme vibration did not cause the saddle to slip or need tightened . I am definitely getting another one .

Awesome for my work
