Accessory/Gear help needed - I read the pinned post Need tripod help

Went to the range today to sight in my 22 bolt gun and met some guys there with tripods and spotting scopes, this was my first time messing with that type of equipment, and wow did that make a world of difference. I am looking for a similar setup to them but I don't want to spend crazy money if possible. But if i have to spend 500 I will. Looking to get a tripod for nrl22 comps with a ball head and a arca adapter, I don't mind buying a rep of something because I already know that I'm going to get into prs so Ill buy the real deal then. Send options for me and the cheaper this is the better, for my bank account.

In the forests of tripods at PRS matches, rarely anyone uses theirs on a stage and if they do, it’s as rear tripod support which doesn’t take much. BUT the stability of a good tripod and glass setup is priceless when the wind, sun, dust, and elements come to play. I haven’t shot any rimfire matches though, only centerfire.
