Seeking advice to set up a stock for Spartan, sling and arca (tricer)

[2-Stix]

Hi Folks,
I have ran the Spartan Pro Tac for 3-4 years with a rifle sling but I would like more flexibility.

Here is how I have delt with my shooting positons;
- prone - Spartan bi pod, off my pack
- sitting/kneeling - off my pack, hiking poles with quikstix, or a tri pod with a V yoke.
- standing - tri pod or BOG shooting sticks

I hunt tight timber with off hand shots for blacktail, open country where I have shot off a tripod or bi pod for mule deer, and track elk in snow with no pack and would like a sitting height bi pod attached, etc...I would like to be able to not have my pack, Spartan, tripod or hiking poles with me to make a shot. I had this situation last November on a cow elk hunt. We jump out on tracks in the snow and follow them untill we catch up and take an offhand shot. We run quick and light. I ended up in a situation at 535 yards off a stump and it was successful but not ideal. My sling is always attached as part of how I carry with or with out a pack.

This is my current set up attached. I thought I might just attach a small arca plate below on the stock to attach the Tricer when I need it and to and attach to my tripod when needed. But with the sling above and Tricer attached below it might rub when I shoulder it.

What is the best way to run a factory tikka stock, a rifle sling, Spartan and Tricer/arca system?

I would love to see a picture or how you set this up. I looked up some of salmon rivers parts, Spartans parts...I think the perfect part would be an arca in front, spartan in the middle then sling stud in the back in that order from the muzzel but I dont find this anywhere with current offerings. I have no need for a pick attachment and what to stay arca to simplify my system.

I basically just need or want an arca in front of what I have now.

Why not just mount the trinity rail? Yeah it has picatinny but that's a very small wieght penalty. You could get a sling mount for the picatinny.

I looked at that. I doesnt have a sling stud and I would want that in front of the sling stud not beind it when I shoulder carry. If I went that direction I would just add a arac attachment as that is what is missing...which might be the solution just not in the location I want it on the stock.

Ya that might be the best way to go. I could put the arca up front, add the sling stud and spartan behind it. I dont want a picatinny mount as I have no need for it. The tricer has a arca attacment.

I had a few more ways to skin the cat but I was looking for something that would do it all like the trinity rail in a different configuration or arca, spartan, sling mount.

On my Salomon River Solutions spartan/picatinny rail it's threaded on the front and a sling stud will thread in. Looks like the trinity has the same design feature

I see. That gets me pretty close with the sling stud shown on there. I could position the arca forward, spartan in the middle and sling stud attachment towards the trigger and just not use the pic.

Can you send a photo of the pic being used with a bi pod and your rifle sling on? I want to carry that way, but the bi pod might rub my shoulder.

You could add an arca mini in the middle to attach to tripod or whatever and keep the same setup you currently have up front.

Thats a good option and thanks for the picture. There is a lot of ways to skin it for sure.

I want to be able to have the rifle sling always attached, with the arca in front of it with the tricer attached so it doesn't interfere with the rifle sling or my shoulder.

I think the best way might be to move the sling/spartan back 3" or so and add the arca in front of it where the sling/spartan currently is.
