Thread: Cheap bi-pods, yea or na?

Finally got around to putting the .22 back together, looking at cheap bi pod options, anybody tried one of these?

Or recommend something else?

at least its tactical.

I use a ATI universal featherweight bipod on my .22LR, and I have an Atlas copy coming for my .22wmr.

Got the ATI from Gunshed when they were open. Fantastic bipod for the 22. Very light.
I even use it on my AR as well.

Hopefully this will be here very soon.

Will do.
@scottrods already has 1, and his looks like a pretty good copy. He might see this and add what he thinks of it.......

I have a nikko sterling swivel bipod (aka buffalo river) and it handles being on the 270 pretty well

I have one very similar to this but it mounts via a pin block on the swivel stud. I prefer it to the Harris swivel that I also have.

The Caldwell harris copy is great

Did you guys see @Tahr post on the lightweight one?

If anyone is going to order one I'd be keen to tack one on the order

I've got a broken Remington Harris copy, a Chinese versapod copy, a legit versapod, and a Chinese Atlas copy. I think I like the Atlas best. The versapod is great but heavy.

Yeah. I've got the ATI on my little .223. I find it fine. Does what I need and its held the rifle steady for quite a few deer.

The other bipod I have is a Caldwell. Once again, its light and good value. I use it on everything, have carted it all over the country chasing all sorts and shot heaps of Tahr and deer using it. Not a problem with it.

My Atlas copy arrived today, so I'll have a closer look at it and give it a good trial run tomorrow on the AR and see how it goes.

So far it's fitted onto the rail well. Had to adjust the tension slightly but not a lot. QD system works well.
Action of legs is nice and the legs are notched as well. Nice compact and light unit.

They way I look at it is , buy to suit the rifle , IF its a cheap rifle , buy a cheap bipod , if its a expensive rifle , get a more expensive bipod , reason , IF you have several K , tied up in a LR Rifle , a good bipod is cheap insurance , against , the bipod failing and dumping said expensive rifle into the dirt along with the expensive scope etc .

Quality does not go out of fashion in 2015. Harris . Never fails.
