Haha.. yeah, they look great too lol.

Has anyone had any hands-on use with the Bushbuck carbon bipod? Or is it a rebadged AliExpress job?

I have one, for sure it's rebranded aliexpress but that doesn't mean it's trash, I have found it to be very good but it's not superlight like my javelin.
Mine is relagated to the .22 but I have used in very successfully on 7mm08 taking 2 fallow at 300+ yards

@dannyb I wasn't meaning it was rubbish. But at the back of my mind I was wondering if the same thing is available on AliExpress too Thanks for the input!

I didn't think you meant it was, I'm very happy with it, quality seems pretty good, functions well certainly don't think I'm likely to wear it out in a hurry, it's definitely not flimsy.

What are the carbon fiber ones like if they bash up against hard objects? Do they fold at that spot?

Can't say I've come close to damaging either of mine, the javelin is tucked away when not fitted to the rifle so not really in any danger of getting knocked about and well the bushbuck is attached to the rifle and in reality when one arses up generally speaking the rifle is protected at all costs
They both seem pretty strong and I think any kind of mishap that would be violent enough to damage either would
a: damage the rifle
And
b: damage a steel bipod
Can't say I've ever damaged a bipod
