Amazon currently has the Artcise NS85C tripod marked down 12%.
Brings it down from 239. to 210.32.
I just ordered one, along with a saddle mount.

I got this combo last year (https://www.ebay.com/itm/364297478237), though it was on sale for an even $300 at the time. I wanted stability and height and since it's not for hunting, weight was not an issue. It's a very nice, solid tripod, and I like the interchangeable bowl or flat plate.

I can see the benefit of a ball head for hunting or pesting, but for target shooting (i.e. minimal adjustment once set up), I'm going to try using a leveling half ball (https://www.amazon.com/Desmond-DHB-75L-Leveling-Adapter-Sandbag/dp/B0CLBJQT97/) with a pan/tilt head (https://www.amazon.com/Sunwayfoto-DT-03-Two-Way-Clamp-Compatible/dp/B0C7N7JXZD/) instead. This type of combo has been suggested here many times.
 
I have a thread for my experience with the K&F Concept Mini, and it comes with the 25mm ballhead. I recommend getting the 32mm ballhead, as it is much stronger and can actually hold long/heavy rifles without it sagging or drooping because of too much weight. Current pictures are with the new ballhead.
