    Bipod options

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a quality bipod mostly but not exclusively for range work.
    I've looked at everything I can find online but would like real experience options. I have done plenty of research but still have no real idea.
    Atlas CAL without pan looks good
    Spartan Valhalla seem difficult to get hold of and probably more lightweight than I require
    Magpul I've also looked into, maybe a little narrow
    Atlas 5-H similar to the valhalla and just as hard to get hold of, also expensive.
    Or is the Harris still a solid option?
    Any advice on other options or real use experience would be much appreciated
    Currently using a knock off Atlas modified.

    Will check them out, why are they your pick?
    Edited..
    Simple, no frills and quite narrow by the looks.

    If I buy another bipod would only buy a backlanz. Couple of young kiwi roosters who make a great product. I bought a Harris 2 weeks before I saw them at the sika show otherwise would have bought one on the spot.

    Currently I'm giving serious consideration to the Accu-Tac WB-5
    Very expensive but looks to do everything I want.
    I'll be holding off making any decisions until I've covered all the bases

    adjusts from flat 22deg 25 deg 90deg forward and back. about 12deg of cant adjustment. legs 26cm wide on the lowest setting. goes as high as 27cm tall. very solid. once set the cant is locked not matter what you do. is a little slow to setup perfect.

    I have to agree

    I brought a backlanz and im super impressed, works great on the range too but i dont think its as supportive for the bigger magnums as a harris

    Mark and Sam make and sell these: https://www.google.co.nz/url?sa=t&rc...Sq2cQIejMLSlYh

    Probably the best system going because of the way the legs fold up and the way the rifle is suspended IMO

    I checked them out and they're impressive. I almost choked when i got the component prices and then you have to buy Atlas legs lol
