Wanted, old style 70's PARKER HALE scope stand.

[RobinC]

I'm after one of the old style 1970's Tucker scope stands, they are two leg and a post, all one unit, are folding, have a universal knuckle on the top. They have Vee cradle with 5 springs making the scope clamp, and were generally crinkle finish black.

Everyone had them 50 years ago, so there must be dozens about! 

Have Fun

These? If so, they are usually Parker Hale.

Thanks, I thought they were Tucker, but regardless, that's what I want!

Any one have one in good condition?

Have fun

All of the Tucker stands I have seen were blue.  They came in two sizes;  the larger ones tended to be a smooth finish and the smaller ones were crinkled.  The rods weighed an absolute ton, especially for 3P shooters!

I have one, want another for her indoors for TR, they are simple, light and very effective for uneven ground!

So come on, some one must have one, sat there unused!

Have you looked at the Redfield ones, same style of bi pod base but a different head. In NZ we have someone making a good copy of them. But with a more modern clamp for the scope. 

Just for interest.

Thanks Martin, hope you are well,

Its the old simple PH stand I'm after, we both have modern Freeland stands, that we use for small bore with the multiple adjustments and the twiddly thing,and modern scopes, they are great for an indoor range with time, but on rough ground, and little time, they are a hassle to set up, and heavy to lug about.

The last time we shot TR, I took my old PH stand (bought new!!) and even my old Kowa TS-2 scope (also bought new!!!), all to save the hassle with our "modern" hi tech kit and the weight, and...... we both used it, and loved it, especially shooting TR on a rough firing point, and its compact,  very light,  and very simple, and quick to set up (we'd probably still be there now setting the Freeland and modern scope up!!). So as I also have a spare TS1 Kowa scope, I'm now trying to find another one of the old PH stands for the wife, just for our TR outings,  so we can both save the hassle, and  the hernia, carrying the modern kit about! 

On the old PH, I think the simple universal joint, simple  folding base, and the spring clamp adds up to a great set up, just its all 50 years old, and now seems to be unobtainium! They are all probably in museums!

So come on you oldies, some one must have one tucked away some where?

Have Fun
