I've been using the basic aluminium Bog for about 6 months. It's been out several times a week, almost always after dark when walking around my permissions foxing/rabbiting/ratting
It provides a stable easy to deploy platform, being able to leave the rifle mounted whilst scanning with the thermal or calling are it's best attribute.
When I've used quad sticks for foxing I've struggled with the restriction on your horizontal/panning movement, definitely not at issue with the Bog.
They are a bit weighty and in hindsight it might have been worth looking at the carbon fibre version, but I've got used to carrying them, holding the foam section keeps the cold from effecting your hand.
Definitely pleased with my purchase, would I use them for stalking?.......no. Quad sticks yes.

My triggerstix froze up solid during the nightime foxing, I was unable to alter the sticks at the most inopportune moment, I will be utilising the bog tripod until the spring in future.
Let me know how much you want for it
I just bought a vanguard endeavour L303AGM tripod from optics warehouse for £239.99 on sale.
Set it up today for the first time with the tikka 22 and I'm quite impressed with it.
It has the bowl type adjustment so leveling it up is easy.
I never shot off a tripod before but after shooting a bit with it I'm happy enough. It's not as stable as my 5 leg viperflex sticks but I don't think any tripod would be.
I shot these two 8 shot groups at 50 yards off it.

Sounds like you need a suitable lubricant.
thanks, they look a decent tripod, decent price too,
thats was weird, first attempt it added vat on, tried again and it didnt, so ordered it, £246 with postage
Guess I damned the BOG with faint praise ! The Vanguard looks to be the wiser spend , please post a bit of a review for comparison.
Hope it's the business.

Carbon fibre one still heavy.Nothing better though for ambushing foxes.

I recently bought the bog death grip. I’m very pleased with it. You don’t wanna be carrying it far though as everyone has mentioned this already. The bog death grip is ideal when you’re scanning with the thermal ,calling foxes or scanning with the binoculars. Most of the time you will still use the quad sticks.
I reckon lube would wreck the internal rubber (presumed) cabling.?
Yes i agree - i have one of both and there is little real world weight difference

I won't be upgrading then
For walking and stability, cannot beat quad sticks.. I'd ignore all the promoted youtubers, just go and buy a good Innorel Tripod if tripods are your thing..
I own x3 Quad sticks, Primos, x2 Tripods. I use 80% of the time Quad sticks, 15% Primos for Rats, 5% tripod when occasionally sitting out the back of the vehicle, although I normally just shoot off the bonnet, theres a lot of promotion of them, a bit like carp bait unless sitting and waiting in one spot is what you love.. I'd grab quads over them all..

a few of the fields i shoot rabbits in i can stand in the middle on a bit of a hump near a fence and shoot rabbits all round ranging from 40-100 yards, so my rifle on a tripod is ideal for me, i can leave it there whilst i scan with the thermal, and swing the rifle round where it needs to be, then onto the next field all in 1, easy, will try some quad sticks though one day
