I agree.
Somebody else may bump it but in reallity it'll be you.

My setup is basic but is quite solid. Next is to change the top bracket with a cam type fastener for quick attachment and removal. I find that I look at a lot of objects that always seem to be greater then 40degrees from zenith. That means I'm standing more towards the front of the scope when pushing and pulling, so I decided to make my Argo stalk vertical. It also rotates so I can change the angle I veiw it from.
