    As far as I’m aware the mtngear bipod is still in production and is what I’ll be holding out for. It looks the business!

    @Liam258 yeah pics please if you have some, I am considering a Backlanz but do want to keep my options open. I just want a decent lightweight carbon bipod I can run on everything from a Magnum to a .22, that I can use at the range and hunting on and off the rifle where needed.

    The Backlanz seems to tick those boxes, especially good to hear the MKII has come out and it has less play in it. I don't mind paying a bit extra for a bipod / adapters if it is going to do what I want.

    @308mate I sent him I message on his Facebook page where he sent me a video of the prototype. Probably easiest to send him a message via Facebook if you want to see it and get further details. This video was posted on another thread where you can see it in use at the start.

    He's pretty clever played with his bipod when I met him while out hunting. Thinks differently and comes up with some unique solutions as ugly as it is that rifle is damn light.

    Yeah mate, I’m going to order a MTN stick. They look like a great piece of kit too.

    I bought @craigc a mountain stick. He finds it very useful I think. Its very well thought out and made too.

    Interesting not what I heard. Must have gone to an overseas manufacturer as the only manufacturer in NZ refused to make their parts. I’d be very surprised if the bipod is as claimed..

    It would be very naive to believe there is only one manufacturer in nz capable of producing his bipod.

    To achieve the weight, yes there is only one manufacturer that can make his bipod

    You sure literally every single one of your posts is about the Backlanz bipod?
