You shouldn't have any issues. Thats well within the weight range of the ballhead. The only concern would be the saddle. I think that only opens up to 2.8". You would either have to position it in the saddle on a smaller portion of the forend or you would have to get an arca rail for the forend so it can clamp right into the ball head.Explain to me. I spend most of my shooting, aside from load work; hunting Rockchucks and the occasional stray Coyote that comes in sight. Question: will this work with a 3" wide fore end? None of my live varmint rifles will weigh more than 15-18 pounds. I am just not sure I see this holding one of my rifles properly. I was going to make a U-shaped channel out of a section of 2x8 and drill a hole thru it to hold it on the tripod.
thanks,
