    MTN Bipod - Picatinny or Arca?

    Hi Team,

    For those using the MTN bipods, are you using the Arca rail or picatinny and if so why?

    Seems the arca is lower profile, but doesn't 'click' on like the picatinny does so perhaps the arca isn't as rock solid a connection?

    Cheers

    Arca is probably a tighter attachment assuming it has a turn tight lock iv got pic for no other reason that it’s an early one and arca wasn’t available in saying that my stocks very slim and the arca might have being to wide for me anyway

    You'd only really put an arca on if you were running some kind of big flat based stock

    Pic rail for me, if you had some chassis rifles it might be better with arca as then you swap around

    ARCA is a solid connection, however I'd go pic rail.
    ARCA is great on a rifle with a big flat forend, and is best suited to a full length rail or just a short section near the magazine for a tripod.

    For a hunting rifle I feel the pic rail will be less likely to get in the way.
