It doesn't sound like a very stable set up for target shooting, but I think in terms of bench rest stability. For prone and offhand, a tight leather sling makes the rifle amazingly stable. And a tight sling with a bipod--seated or prone--is also very stable.
Exactly what kind of shooting are you planning to be doing with this setup?

You might try using a piece of 2" angle iron for the "v" and lining the inside with a nice piece of thick leather. That's what I used for the rest portion of a tramp-in-the-ground portable rest I built years ago.....

Just a general observation....I have three camera tripods, several rifle bipods and a couple sets of shooting stix. NOt knowing exactly how you plan on using this "tripod" arrangement I would suggest you consider that 'deploying a camera tripod which is generally a leisure event is far and away slower than the typical rifle bipod. Shooting sticks can be at the ready almost instantly.

I thought about that but most of my hunting is still hunting. I am to big and make to much noise stalking through the woods. Most of the time it will be setup way in advance of a deer coming by
