Hi Brian,
Are you able to see a tripod or are you going to have to mail order / internet purchase. Just looked at Eagle optics as not familiar with what you can get for $100. Eagle Optics link,

Problem even getting a Manfrotto 190 legs for that, and no way would I mount 300mm + 2x on that.
For this budget you may be looking at a used set of legs. You need something at least as stable as the Manfrotto 055 or in US Bogen 3011. Hence the question will you be able to see it.
A bit tricky answering from this side of the pond. Maybe someone from the States can offer an option
