Hey 50. Got a range question for ya. My spotting scope came with a tripod, but even when set as short as it will go without the legs extended, it's still too high to use from the prone firing position.

Do you know of someone that makes a reasonable (read cheap) scope stand that would solve my problem?

You can do cheaper. The threads are standard 1/4-20. Cut a piece of 1X4, or 2X4, drill a hole and get a screw. Problem solved.

Take three to five old, large kneesocks and fill them with sand or cat litter in gallon ziplock bags. Tie the end of the sock in a knot. Stack them whatever height you need and rest the scope without the tripod. I use three then two atop the three like stacking logs.

Buy a cheap camera tripod head and mount it to a piece of plywood. Sometimes you can find an old camera tripod at the secondhand store for cheap, especially if one of the legs is broken or missing.
