Thread: Lightweight bipods

Anyone have experience with these?

Have seen javelin and neopod any others? Which rates higher for a hunting bipod on lightweight rigs?

Have a Harris and atlas copy but never get used as they are heavy as hell

Cheers

hi I have a carbon javelin bipod coming in the next week or so, I know a few lads with them and they rate them highly, bloody expensive though. what price are they in nz

Cheap compared to a neopod... think the javelin is only $450nzd vs $750 for neopod

That's pretty steep mate the 2 neopods I got where 500 each.
I found them ok on a lightweight gun but not ideal, bit to sloppy for my liking and went back to carrying a Harris in the pack.

I have a Mk1 Javelin. Its good, but still early days for me as I bought it second hand from here not long ago. Very light and functional. Friction lock on the cant is not as good as the Harris (I'd like to see if they do a Pod Lok type throw arm). I also hope the Mk2 is better with the legs not sliding out so easily. Also I would like just a little more length in the legs. For practicality its very easy to store and carry and has a super fast setup. Shooting is stable and feels solid. Shot at gongs to 700m off the deck no troubles.

I had very mixed results with the Neopod. Very, very inconsistent point of impact unless you loaded the legs exactly the same each shot. This is very hard to do every time in a hunting situation. The trusted Harris or Atlas does not have this issue.

Javelin better than Neopod. Had both, just Javelin now.

And Harris better than both. My hunting mate broke the stop off his neopod a couple weeks ago so now one leg flops around a bit

No pan or tilt or adjustability in legs? Might be all right off a bench where lightweight doesn't mean anýthing anyhow

Maybe if I was carrying an r93 brick I’d worry about a lightweight bipod. Don’t even own a quad let alone hunt with one

One thing ya gota watch with a Neopod is that it doesn't fall off while pushing through the scrub, Know one fulla that spent hours trying to find his to no avail, it was the first time he took it hunting.

He's a tight wad anyway so maybe it was karma hahahaha

Shouldn't of had a bipod fitted when in tight scrub anyway, there's enough bits to get caught up in shit let alone having a bipod hanging off it too. Expensive lesson by the sounds.
