I went with what was a budget route for me. I already had an old Manfrotto 3205 tripod from my camera days. It is really rated on the light side for this application, but since I already had it that was what I used. Same thing for the ball head I had. Bigger would be better, but it is what I had. I just added the Pig Saddle to it, I got mine for $135 or so with a discount from SWFA. I'm honestly only into this setup for about $150.
It isn't a top end setup, but it has been working really well for me. I have put plenty of hits on steel out in the 500-1000 yard range with it.
If I had all the funds I wanted, I would just spring for all Really Right Stuff tripod, leveling head, and mount. But at that point you are up in the 800-1200 range and I just in no way can justify that for my needs.

I am very excited about this new carbon fiberNight Stalker Shooting Tripod from Night Goggles. It's only $138 and weighs 4 pounds, plus you can take off one leg and use it as a monopod.
I'm going to put my Kopfjager Reaper Grip on top and keep my old steel Manfrotto tripod at home for photography.
