    Yea I like my spartan which I carry in my daypack. Only use it for longer shots so usually have plenty of time to get set-up

    @CandiedGold I had a Harris on my Finnlight 2 but changed to a Backlanz. I like the design and it weighs next to nothing. Very easy to put on / off . I've purchased the leg extensions , but haven't needed to use them yet.
    I got bored one day and changed out the fiberglass stock for a carbon one. Fair drop in weight once done.

    Thanks for sharing this @ando2506.

    The Finnlight 2 is looking pretty sharp with the new Carbon stock. A couple of questions if you don't mind.
    - Did you fit the Backlanz bracket to the original Finnlight Stock and if so did it make a mess of the gel-type foregrip?
    - Also what is the make of the carbon stock you retro-fitted and how much weight did it drop off the rifle?

    Cheers.

    Hey @burtonator

    Thanks for sharing this great review. I haven't yet been able to physically see a Backlanz Bopod as the gunshops here in Nelson seem not to stock them. Your video was very helpful and I'm definitely leaning towards a Baccklanz as I want to carry the rifle with Bipod attached in the same way that I currently use my Harris. One question - is your Backlanz a Version 1 or version 2? I cant seem to find much info about the difference between the two versions.

    Cheers.

    Have you thought about just getting a quick release for your Harris? No expensive cost then
    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    There was a similar thread not long ago, and I believe mtngear is coming out with a titanium/carbon bipod soon. It may be worth waiting and looking at that?

    I hear MTN won't be releasing their bipod anymore unless they can find another manufacturer. Apparently the design was virtually a copy of the CKYE pod concept. Cost of production was through the roof and it would never have been profitable
