For my stationary fox work, I use the Rekon tripod with hog saddle which works perfectly. On the move, it's the Primos trigger sticks. I'm on very hilly ground and find quad sticks take too long to get just right when you only have a very limited time to take a shot
+1 for Viperflex, I have the travel version, which I took to Africa and shot out to a measured 250m. I don’t go stalking without them

Would never been with out mine there about 10 years old still going strong !!
This.
Spend a bit more and buy these. You won't regret it. I don't even bother putting the bipod on the rifle now as I'm more confident using these.
Quad sticks beat any other field support solution I have tried for repeatable accuracy.
Of the quad sticks available, I first tried Viper Flex. Undeniably good, but the flat rest's predispostion to tilt [unpredictably] under vertical loading was off-putting.
Next were garden canes. Excellent rigidity, but weighty to carry and not compact.
My final choice have been my go-to for a couple of years. The significant features:

Because you state " dragging deer" with them to my mind there is only one choice and its nothing that telescopes up and down or is made of thin walled tube . That's most sticks on sale commercially off the list then ?!
True. I wouldn't be dragging deer with mine
I normally just drag deer with climbing loop round the neck. On rough ground ive used the sticks behind me for equal grip with looparound them or through another climbing loop.
Bogpods do it so woukd like the option

Yep, despite my recent "squeak" thread they are great. Squeak sorted now and my fault for not drying them.... ever....
Mjoelner Hunting FENRIS II ALUMINIUM Quad Sticks – Best Fox Call
Have a mate with the carbon version, £250 from same supplier. Both are solid. they do a collapsable one too... Rob at best fox call is a top bloke to boot.As far as swing (left to right) is concerned, you soon learn how to tilt one leg up and pivot the whole thing.
Good example how a (if loaded) rifle could be pointed to the housing estate 2 miles away....mind you if it was a
Creeks Moore it would only get half way...
Agree…it’s warm and natural feeling in the hand, makes a pretty natural sound if clambering through/over obstacles…& best of all…unlike your £500 carbon sticks…it doesn’t conduct electricity when hoping over stock fencing

I had a look at a set in Cluny not 2 hrs ago and they just seemed a massive faff
I dare say a lot of practice might make the better but I’ll not be replacing my primos tripod anytime soon that’s for sure .

Absolutely spot on!!@limulus on here makes fantastic hardwood sticks… I’ve tried primos, blaser and others but always come back to the Limilus ones
Around 1/2 your budget & Top chap to deal with too

Seeland quad sticks for 150 worked for me for a couple of years. I did upgrade to Viperflex. However, I dont think the upgrade was worth the money. Only advantage I can see is the legs spread further on the viperflex.
the whistling holes is a major design flaw IMO
