I too have both interests and the rifle stock rig has been around for a long time. It is a very stable way to photograph subjects. Don't worry it's highly unlikely a cop will shoot you.
However the only real advantage of that rig is for a long lens. And today, many long Len’s have image stabilizers. So the extra weight becomes cumbersome. I have thought many times about buying the same rig. But I can't justify a 600+ mm lens for the average shooting (photography) I do.
But it sure looks neat.
