Why the Scree Runner Tripod Beats the BOG Death...
Why the Scree Runner HO-TPC32 Beats the BOG DeathGrip for Aussie Hunters
Tripods don’t get the same attention as rifles and optics, but if you’re running thermal or taking longer shots at night, your tripod can make or break the hunt. A good tripod gives you stability, confidence and repeatable accuracy. A bad one just adds weight and wobble.
If you’re choosing between the Scree Runner HO-TPC32 Carbon Fibre Tripod and the popular BOG DeathGrip, here’s why more Aussie hunters are leaning towards the Scree Runner – especially for real bush and farmland hunting.
Clamp vs. Confidence – Stability Under Recoil
One of the most common complaints about clamp-style tripods like the DeathGrip is that the rifle can still move, even when “locked” in. Tiny shifts, tilt under recoil and wobble through the clamping head can be enough to cost you a precise shot, especially on smaller targets like foxes.
The Scree Runner HO-TPC32 uses a dedicated gun mount and solid locking head designed for stability. Instead of squeezing the stock in a saddle and hoping it holds, your rifle sits firmly anchored. The result is:
- Less tilt and shift under recoil.
- More repeatable shot placement.
- Bench-like stability in a field-ready tripod.
When you’re sending centrefire rounds at night over distance, that kind of stability isn’t a luxury – it’s the difference between a clean hit and a long track job.
Weight That Works With You, Not Against You
Even in carbon fibre form, the DeathGrip is still a fairly heavy lump to drag around. That’s fine if you’re shooting off the back of a ute or close to the vehicle, but not so handy when you’re walking ridges, gullies and big paddocks.
The Scree Runner HO-TPC32 is built from carbon fibre with hunters in mind – strong enough to handle serious rifles and heavy thermal setups, but light enough that you don’t hate it by the time you reach the back fence. For Aussie hunts where you might walk kilometres in a night, that matters.
Built for Real Aussie Terrain, Not Just Flat Ranges
Range bays are flat. The bush is not. Clamp-style tripods can be awkward to level on slopes, creek banks and broken ground. You end up fighting the head and legs just to get level, and sometimes still end up with a lean in the rifle.
The HO-TPC32 is designed to be flexible and fast to set up:
- Carbon fibre legs with multiple angle settings.
- Wide, stable stance on uneven ground.
- Gun mount that keeps the rifle level once you’re set.
Whether you are on a hillside watching a gully, on stubble paddocks, or tucked into a fence line, the Scree Runner makes it easier to get stable and stay that way.
Long-Term Reliability vs. “It’ll Do”
Another common complaint with clamp-style tripods is long-term wear. Plastic components can loosen, clamps can lose their bite, and what felt okay at first starts to feel sloppy after a season of use.
The Scree Runner HO-TPC32 is built as a serious bit of kit – robust carbon fibre legs, solid hardware and a mount designed to handle repeated use with modern hunting rifles and thermals. It’s made to be dragged in and out of utes, set up in dirt and dust, and still perform.
Why the Scree Runner Makes You a Better Hunter
Swap away from the marketing and think about what you actually do at night: scanning, setting up, taking shots that matter. The Scree Runner helps you do that better.
- More stability – less wobble, cleaner trigger presses, better hits.
- More confidence – you trust your platform, so you focus on wind, angle and shot timing.
- More effective range – a rock-solid rest lets you stretch safely when conditions are right.
- Less fatigue – the tripod carries some of the workload instead of your muscles doing it all.
Combine a stable tripod like the HO-TPC32 with a quality thermal scope and you’ve got a serious feral control setup: ideal for pigs, foxes, dogs and deer in the sort of broken country many Aussie hunters call home.
Who the Scree Runner HO-TPC32 Is For
The Scree Runner tripod is a better choice if you:
- Hunt on foot in bush, scrub, ridges or mixed farmland.
- Run heavier rifles and thermal or night-vision gear.
- Want stability that feels closer to a bench rest than a wobbly clamp.
- Care about long-term durability, not just a budget solution.
Final Thoughts
The BOG DeathGrip has its place, but it’s often more “good enough” than “best you can get”. For Aussie hunters who want a tripod that carries well, locks in properly and gives true confidence under recoil, the Scree Runner HO-TPC32 Carbon Fibre Tripod is the smarter choice.
Stronger rest. Steadier shots. Better hunting.
Build your night rig around a tripod that can keep up.
“Woodland Sentinel” Bundle – Turn the Bush Into...
When you’re hunting proper Aussie country – timbered ridges, creek flats, paddocks broken up by tree lines and scrub – the difference between “maybe” and meat in the tray comes down to two things: how early you spot animals and how steady you are when it’s time to send it.
The Woodland Sentinel Bundle – HIKMICRO Stellar SQ35L 3.0 + Scree Runner HO-TPC32 Carbon Fibre Tripod & Gun Mount – is built to stack both in your favour. It’s a complete night-hunting system for bush and woodland hunters who want 640-class thermal clarity and a rock-solid shooting platform in one hit.
What You Get in the Woodland Sentinel Bundle
This combo brings together two serious bits of kit:
- HIKMICRO Stellar SQ35L 3.0 Thermal Riflescope – 640 × 512 @ 12 μm sensor, fast 35 mm F1.0 lens, huge 1.03" 2560 × 2560 OLED display, built-in 1000 m laser rangefinder and ballistic calculator in a traditional scope body.
- Scree Runner HO-TPC32 Carbon Fibre Tripod + Gun Mount – lightweight carbon-fibre legs with serious load rating, multiple leg angles, grippy feet and a dedicated gun mount that locks your rifle in like it’s on rails.
Bought separately, you’re paying more and doing the thinking yourself. As a Good Hunt bundle, it’s pre-matched gear that works together – and you save cash off the top.
Why a 35 mm 640 Thermal Owns the Bush
Plenty of scopes look good on paper. The Stellar SQ35L 3.0 is one of the few that’s tuned for the terrain most Aussies hunt: mixed scrub, timber, gullies and paddocks – not endless open plain.
- 640 × 512 sensor with ultra-low NETD gives fine detail in heat signatures, even on warm or humid nights.
- 35 mm F1.0 lens and a wide, practical field of view let you scan, stalk and still positively ID pigs, deer and foxes at distance.
- The big 2560 × 2560 OLED display fills your sight picture with a crisp, circular image that’s easier on the eye on long nights.
In real terms, you pick up movement earlier along fence lines, creek edges and in the timber. You can tell pig from roo, stag from spiker, without walking in another 100 m just to be sure.
LRF + Ballistics = Less Guessing, More First-Round Hits
The integrated 1,000 m laser rangefinder and onboard ballistic calculator turn the SQ35L 3.0 from “nice scope” into a precision hunting tool.
Instead of guessing:
“Eh, that looks like 180… maybe hold a smidge high.”
You simply:
- Range the target.
- Let your ballistic profile do the maths.
- Apply the correct hold or dial and send it.
On fox-sized targets or longer paddock shots on pigs and deer, that’s the difference between replaying a miss in your head all night and watching them drop exactly where you aimed. It also means more ethical, clean hits.
Why the Scree Runner Tripod Changes Everything
If you’ve ever tried to take a 200 m shot off a wobbly gate, bonnet or fence post in the dark, you already know why a proper tripod matters.
- Carbon fibre legs keep the weight down but still handle heavy rifle + thermal setups with ease.
- High load rating means no flex or collapse when you lean in and break the shot.
- Adjustable leg angles and grippy feet lock in on hill faces, creek banks, ploughed paddocks or stubble.
- The dedicated gun mount clamps the rifle securely, turning your position into a planted, confidence-inspiring shooting platform.
Combine that with the SQ35L’s thermal clarity and ballistic tools and you’ve got a repeatable system: spot – range – lock in – send it.
How the Woodland Sentinel Bundle Makes Hunting Better
1. You See More, Earlier
Thermal lets you see heat through darkness, fog, light cover and long grass. With a 640 sensor and a wide, practical field of view, you’re spotting pigs, deer and foxes earlier and from further away – which means more time to plan and less chance of getting busted.
2. You Shoot Steadier
Instead of dropping to a rushed kneel or trying to balance on a random fence post, you drop the tripod, lock the rifle in and you’re instantly steadier. That means better shot placement, more effective feral control and more confidence stretching shots when conditions are right.
3. You Make Smarter Decisions
Rangefinder plus ballistics means you’re not guessing. You know the distance, you know your hold, and you know your rifle and scope are doing their job. That mental load off your shoulders makes you calmer behind the trigger – and that usually means better results.
4. You Hunt Longer With Less Fatigue
The combination of a big, sharp OLED display and a stable shooting position is underrated. Less eye strain from squinting at grainy thermal. Less muscle fatigue from unsupported holds. More time actually hunting instead of constantly resting or repositioning.
Who the Woodland Sentinel Bundle Is Built For
- Pig, deer and goat hunters working scrubby ridges, tree lines, river flats and paddocks at night.
- Landholders and farmers who need a reliable feral control setup that just works, night after night.
- Hunters stepping up from entry-level thermal and wanting a serious, long-term rig.
- Anyone sick of wobbly rests, guessing distances and “near enough” gear.
Why Grab It from Good Hunt
Buying the Woodland Sentinel Bundle from Good Hunt doesn’t just get you the gear – it gets you:
- Bundle savings compared to buying the scope and tripod separately.
- Fast, Australia-wide shipping so you’re not waiting forever to get in the paddock.
- Australian-based support from hunters who actually run this kit and can help you get the most out of it.
See earlier. Shoot steadier. Make better calls.
Build your rig around the Woodland Sentinel Bundle and own the bush after dark.
HIKMICRO Stellar SQ35L 3.0 – In the Field Therm...
When you run gear night after night in the real world – in scrub, crop edges, gullies and paddocks – you quickly learn what actually matters in a thermal scope: clarity, reliability and smart features that make your hunt easier. The HIKMICRO Stellar SQ35L 3.0 delivers on all of that, and more.
This is not just another 35 mm thermal scope – it is a true hunter’s tool built for Australian conditions.
First Impressions – Built Like a Real Riflescope
In the hands, the SQ35L 3.0 feels like a quality centrefire optic. Solid aluminium construction, proper weight, smooth turrets and buttons that still make sense when your fingers are cold, muddy or gloved.
Unlike bulky thermals or awkward clip-ons, the Stellar mounts like a traditional scope, balances well on the rifle and feels natural when you shoulder the gun. That alone makes a huge difference during long nights in the paddock.
Thermal Performance That Makes Hunting Easier
At its core, the Stellar SQ35L 3.0 runs a 640 × 512 @ 12 μm thermal sensor with NETD < 15 mK. In the field, that translates to:
- Clean, high-contrast images in scrub, paddocks and timber.
- Better performance in humidity, fog and marginal conditions.
- Clear separation of animals from background clutter.
The 35 mm F1.0 germanium lens hits the sweet spot:
- Wide enough to scan, stalk and move fast.
- Tight enough to ID animals at proper hunting distances.
- Responsive enough to spot pigs, foxes and deer before they move.
Laser Rangefinder + Ballistics – Fewer Guess Shots
One of the biggest real-world advantages of the SQ35L 3.0 is the integrated 1,000 m laser rangefinder and onboard ballistics calculator.
No swapping to binos. No guessing distances. No wasted time.
- Tap to range, confirm distance, and commit with confidence.
- Fewer holdover guesses and cleaner, ethical hits.
- More confidence on longer shots and smaller targets like foxes.
For serious night hunting and feral control, this combo is a massive step up from basic thermal scopes.
2560 × 2560 OLED – A Display You Actually Enjoy Using
The 1.03" circular 2560 × 2560 OLED display is one of the first things hunters notice in the field:
- Big, crisp viewing circle that fills your sight picture.
- Reduced eye fatigue on long sessions in the ute or on foot.
- Easier target recognition and reticle clarity at all magnifications.
Once you get used to this display, going back to smaller or lower-resolution screens feels like a step backwards.
Zero Hold and Real-World Reliability
Across multiple nights, calibres and shooting positions, the Stellar SQ35L 3.0 holds zero rock solid. There is no wandering point of impact, no strange thermal drift and no random recalibration surprises.
HIKMICRO’s shutterless design keeps the image smooth as conditions change, so you are not constantly waiting for calibration cycles just when you need to take a shot.
- Recoil-resistant for common centrefire hunting calibres.
- IP67-rated housing for dust, rain and rough Australian terrain.
- Controls laid out for real hunting, not just bench use.
Local Support That Actually Backs You Up
Thermal scopes are an investment, and local support matters. When you buy through Good Hunt, you are not just buying a scope – you are getting:
- Help with setup, mounting and zeroing.
- Real-world advice from people who actually use the gear.
- Warranty support and communication you can rely on.
In a market where some importers vanish or go quiet, having a local supplier who stands behind the product is a big deal.
In-the-Field Verdict
The HIKMICRO Stellar SQ35L 3.0 nails what matters most to Australian hunters:
- Sharp, 640-class thermal clarity in real conditions.
- Integrated laser rangefinder and ballistics that cut down guesswork.
- A big, bright OLED display that is easy on the eyes.
- Rugged, riflescope-style build that balances properly on the rifle.
- Reliable POI stability and a shutdown of “mystery misses”.
If you are looking for a 35 mm thermal scope that blends power, practicality and confidence, the Stellar SQ35L 3.0 is a seriously smart upgrade for your hunting rifle.
