How much weight can it bear? I have a pretty large/heavy spotting scope...

It seems to hold my spotting scope ok (that's what I bought it for). The tightening lever for the base plate broke the first time I used it though, even though I put very little tension on it. Luckily, I had an old tripod I could use for parts.

This is a sturdy tripod. I have never tested it, but it should handle fifteen - twenty pounds.

Haven't tried anything that big. But I can say it seems very strong and sturdy. No issues with it on on AR

Anything as long as it fits and meets your needs; however, don't go overboard with a scope that weights more than 2 lbs. and make sure you use locktite on the screws and nuts and you may want to stay away from the quick release devices as they may come lose if not tight enough.

It certainly is heavy enough to hold a small to moderate scope, provided you can find one that will fit into the clamps on the rollers.

I have a Savage model 12 LRP 6.5 creedmoor it weighs with scope over 13 pounds. The bipod has held up very well.

The actual scope on my gun is on 4 1/4 inches long. As far as the weight, i do not know the actual but it it is light and does not seem to add any weight to the gun

Without weighting it I would say yes. It is not very heavy. It has been used with no problem with calibers up to .308.

Yes, it work just fine providing the spotting scope is not over 20 lbs. Some are big enough to weight that muchand more. I like this tripod because it is short and easy to pack. The locking legs are very secure and will notfold down on you by accident.Lee

Gun guy has a point on the weight and lugging it around. I target shoot with a browning 30-06. Used the browning x scope mounts and no loosening yet. Unless your trying to hit 300+ the Nikon would work fine. I just like playing at longer ranges. ;-)

Bildio, Do u have a tripod for those spotting scopes? Give me more details on the spotting scope's dimensions so that i can help you accurately.

I would guess 4 oz.. It doesn't add as much weight as the average rifle scope.

It is a big heavy scope but I am sure it would be just fine.I had mine on a Remington 700xps and did not care for it.Optics are not all that clear far out or in low light conditions. I sent mine back and went with the Millet BK81001 4x16x50 TRS-1 and love it and glad I did.Mine would also not hold zero

I do not know the weight. It is a heavy and massive scope. It's weight is the only down side of an otherwise great scope.

This scope claims to be16 power but I would say it's more like 10 power or lower. It's a good price for what it is but I wouldn't use it for a spotting scope at any distance.

I definitely find this steady enough for a 5 lb scope my camera an big lenses are very secure

They claim it'll stay together up to those conditions but that's a whole lot of pop right there. I've got two on ar's one 556 and one on a 308 and they've both held zero wonderfully haven't adjusted at all in over a year of hard use but I'm not sure about that 300 mag. You've got to put your eye pretty close to the optic too, I'd be worried about it hitting you in the eye as well...

Not sure of exact numbers but I put it on my tactical 10/22 carbine and with that being said I was concerned about adding weight with the scope as I just wanted the gun to remain feather light like under 5.5 to 6lbs and the scoped added very very litlle to the guns weight. Because its designed for a plinking gun- 22 cal or pellet rifle it is a light scope . If you put this on a large cal. gun I think it would take a beating because of its light weight style ................ Hope this helped a bit ! SD
