Well that's embarrassing...

They are not light.

where did you get your leg extensions from i am assuming they are made of aluminuim/steel and not plastic?

BTW i think the real atlas which i have are lighter than a harris with equivalent modifications

Try Greystone products in Canterbury.

They arnt any lighter than a Harris

Harris SLM with knotches 9-13"
14 oz

Atlas 4.75-9"
12.7 oz

By the time you add the extensions to get hte same height they will be the same weight.

@cambo Bipod still holding up? I'm considering purchasing one off DHGate.com - roughly $80nzd at the moment.

Yup still holding together. Given it a pretty good work out on the AR and the wmr and it works well.
Compared to a buddy's genuine Atlas, the build quality is very plain to see but the Chink copy seems to hold up OK for what I'm using it for anyway.
Don't know if I'd try it on a bigger cal but for the 223 and wmr it is fine.

For $80 I'd buy one, I like the quick release.

I bought a few attachment rail things from Atlas. The package included a big sticker warning about Chinese knock offs.
I almost felt guilty about not paying them $400 for one of thier bi pods...yeah, right.

bought a blank piccatiny rail from guncity, that way I can make the rails as short/long as I need and ill have enough for probably 5 or 6 bipods.

Are they deep enough to attach the bipod? I tried a scope mount base but it was too thin.

yep its gotta have the slots in it though

A question to those that have a copy.
Do they tilt? I know they can pan but will it tilt allowing you to level the rifle without having to fart around with the legs to much?

Just checked mine. No it doesn't tilt. Setting the legs up is pretty easy and quick though.
