Creedmore scope/stand kit

[pmclaine]

I've been looking at this scope/stand set up

http://www.creedmoorsports.com/shop/...e_Package.html

I'm confident the Kowa will be great (I will probably also buy a 20-60 eyepiece to have on hand but I really like the idea of the LER eyepiece for 100-200 which is most of my shooting). I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the Creedmore stand/and polecat mount?

I've heard so much good stuff about the Ray Vin stand but since Creedmore is selling it it seems the price has jumped. Getting a complete set up by buying individual pieces will be quite a bit more than the Creedmore package.

I note that everything comes with aluminum rods instead of stainless. Does the lighter material degrade the stability of the stand?

I also like the Ray Vin outrigger for use in the prone.

It looks almost like you could have your shooting eye on the sights and your non shooting eye in the scope at the same time. I am assuming with 1" rods the Ray Vin outrigger could work with the Creedmore stand?

Thanks for any help anyone can offer. If anyone has used equipment available to sell as an option I'm open to possible deals.
