I'm looking at getting my first shooting tripod. It's use will be both range and hunting. I know the top contenders RRS, Two Vets, etc., but I want to ease in and get something a bit more budget friendly first. The Ruck by Two Vets with maybe an RRS head, or just a Two Vets ball head, seemed perfect in both price and quality/weight, but it's apparently discontinued and now they have nothing under $600. Are there any decent light-weight tripods that would be say $600 or so all in with the head? If there aren't I'll up my budget, but I really don't need something that survives a nuclear blast without a POI shift; just one that I can setup hunting or at the range and have it hold the rifle steady and be able to load the tripod a bit.

Edit: The rifle has an ARCA rail
