I just had to try this!!!

Larue makes the mount for the rifle and I went and picked up the heavy duty tripod and head locally.  This SOB is rock solid!!!  This is going to be one hell of a prairie dog shooting machine!!!  The mount can be put on anything that has a rail on the bottom, so my AR15, AR308 or my .50 cal will work with this mount. I will mount up all three and post pics later.  I'm not sure how the 28 lb. .50 cal will work?

I use that tripod for photography. I was pretty shocked to see it at the Larue site a while ago

So what do you think about the setup?

no clue...I plan on trying though seeing I have the hardware on hand .  ;D

Yours looks good. Need a second tripod with a brass catcher

Thats an awesome tripod for photography because the center column can go horizontal

If you do get the Larue mount, you have to use the head in the pic I took.  I have the other head that is a pistol grip and is vertical and the plate is different and does not work.  The one in the pic is the only one that will work with the mount.  I was sure they would all work, but found out the hard way and now have to very nice heads for my tripod.

I am totalling considering that but...

Man the tripod is huge, wondering if the head would be compatible w/

my tasco spotting tpod ? ? ?

The mount from Larue is kind of similar to all top plates with tripods.  The mount from Larue could easily be modifed with a dremel tool if it did not fit just right, but it a little expensive to be grinding on.  Its your choice though.  If you want to measure your existing top plate, I can measure the Larue one for you and we can compare notes.
