Vanguard Endeavor LT 264CGM 65

The ENDEAVOR LT 264CGM 65 is a carbon fibre travel sized gun rest with a levelling base and a compact and lightweight ENDEAVOR GM-65 rifle clamp that’s designed be incredibly portable, while allowing you to get on target with ease and deliver an incredibly stable base for your shot.

The combination of the 4-section carbon legs and the Endeavor GM-65 deliver a gun rest that folds down to just 50.5cm and weighs in at 1520g, with a luxury padded bag that makes it easy to carry over longer distances .

Constructed of heavy duty aluminium, with load bearing components that are CNC machined from solid aluminium alloy for maximum quality and durability.

The tripod features 26mm tripod legs for a solid base. Each 4-section leg includes silent and easy set twist locks that are designed to be easy to clean, maximising the life of the tripod.

With three easy set leg angles (23°, 50° & 80°) you can quickly and silently deploy the tripod to any height between 14.5cm and 107cm making it ideal for prone, kneeling or sitting positions.

The tripod also includes retractable rubber or spiked feet making this tripod is perfect for use on any terrain.

The tripod is then topped off with a solid 50mm aluminium levelling bowl that has ±15° vertical movement and a 360° pan that allows you to get on target and adjust your aim with ease.

This levelling bowl includes a 1/4″ thread with a 3/8″ adaptor that allows you to fit any suitable tripod head, and this can be secured using the grub screws in the levelling bowl to ensure the head is on tight.

On the side of the canopy, there are two 3/8″ thread holes that allows you to add a suitable tripod support arm (not included) to attach the accessory of your choice. This could allow you to attach an action camera or smartphone to capture your shot, or a digiscoping kit that would allow you and your companions to observe the placement of your shot. We would recommend the VEO TSA DLX with the non-slip bayonet fittings for maximum stability.

As this model is a complete kit, attached to the tripod is a lightweight and compact ENDEAVOR GM-65 rifle clamp. The clamp is angled for a better grip on most rifles which get narrower towards the barrel.  This allows the base to open from 25mm to 75mm, while the top opens from 20mm to 65mm. The grip is enhanced with a 3mm rubber inner which also prevents damage to your rifle.

The clamp is operated by a tri-spoke locking wheel that is designed to be easy to use, even in cold and wet weather while wearing gloves.

The clamp fits directly onto the levelling bowl’s 1/4″ thread, but it also includes an Arca compatible base that allows you to add it to any suitable tripod head (such as the VEO BH-250S) for greater control, and to double as a camera tripod, without compromising the stable base.

Overall, this is a great shooting solution for longer hikes while still delivering the most precise shots, or as a tool for simple rifle maintenance, like changing and sighting a rifle scope.
