Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Looking at the original in a smaller format my guess would be they're likely Malcolm telescopes. The "bipods" could be anything, and likely made by shooters themselves to have cross sticks for accurate shooting at longer distances.

I've probably looked at hundreds of old photos from various online collections, and this is the first I've seen with hunters using scopes or crossed sticks.
