EDGE of the OUTBACK Rifle Saddle Clamp

The rifle saddle clamp is the simplest and most versatile way to mount a rifle to a tripod without making permanent changes to your firearm. Whether you are night hunting, controlling feral pests or shooting long-range steel, a saddle clamp offers a fast, secure and reliable interface that works across all rifle platforms. This system is trusted by professional shooters who need stability, repeatability and flexibility in real field conditions.

Unlike dedicated mounting plates, a rifle saddle clamp allows you to swap rifles instantly, making it ideal for shooters who own multiple calibres or who regularly change setups depending on the job. The rubberised jaws grip the stock firmly without marking timber, laminate, synthetic or composite rifle stocks, ensuring safe use even on premium firearms.

Why Choose a Rifle Saddle Clamp?

A tripod-mounted shooting system provides a huge stability advantage when shooting from standing, kneeling or seated positions. A saddle clamp enhances that platform by offering a strong mechanical lock that minimises movement under recoil and prevents twist, slip or vibration. It is widely used by pest-control contractors, long-range hunters and precision shooters for its combination of speed, simplicity and strength.

• Works with any rifle — no rail installation or gunsmithing required
• Fast tension adjustment for quick rifle changes
• Non-marring rubber jaws protect firearm stocks
• Provides a rigid, repeatable tripod shooting interface
• Perfect for spotlighting, thermal hunting, crop protection and PRS-style tripod shooting

Because the rifle saddle clamp fits virtually all traditional hunting rifles, it is the most universal tripod attachment option available. Shooters who prefer not to drill stocks or install M-LOK hardware often choose a saddle clamp as their primary tripod mounting method.

Compatibility & Features

The EDGE of the OUTBACK saddle clamp mounts directly to any Arca-Swiss tripod head, meaning it attaches instantly to the EDGE of the OUTBACK carbon hunting tripod and most professional ball heads or leveling bases. The clamp also features dual mounting heights, allowing shooters to fine-tune rifle position and reduce cant during supported shots.

For added versatility, the saddle includes a side Picatinny rail for mounting a torch, laser rangefinder, IR illuminator or other accessories frequently used during night shooting and pest-control work.

If you prefer a dedicated rifle-to-tripod connection, this clamp pairs perfectly with the EDGE of the OUTBACK 80mm Arca-Swiss M-LOK Plate, giving shooters the option to run both systems depending on the rifle and application.

Field Use & Practical Applications

This tripod saddle clamp is relied upon by hunters, professional shooters and pest-control operators who need stable support in the paddock, crops, hillsides or rough terrain. When shooting feral pigs, foxes, goats, deer and other pest species, the clamp provides a strong, consistent shooting rest that dramatically improves accuracy compared to unsupported or improvised positions.

It is equally at home during load development, long-range steel shooting, training days or any situation where a tripod provides a superior shooting foundation. The ability to lock the rifle securely while maintaining smooth tripod rotation makes target transitions quick and controlled.
