Thread: Thoughts on the Backlanz Notched Bipod?

The weight, ease of removal and being able to use on a number of rifles is the winner for me.
I don't always use a bipod but clip it on for my boy to shoot.
Plenty come up second hand
I sent mine back for a spring upgrade as it popped off a couple of times. They did this free of charge!

They wouldn't replace the springs in mine & my mates one's unless we paid for it! We both bought the bipods about a month or so before they brought out the newer version 2 model with the better spring and less play/movement with it.
My mates bipod fell off twice on him after firing a shot. I rang them when I seen the new V2 model come out as both of us weren't that impressed with our bipods.
They said they had never heard of one popping off before. We both sold our V1 bipods after that. They did offer to send me a the new V2 for me to look at which I ended up buying, only used it once and has since spent the last couple of years sitting in the gun safe. I went back to just using my harris bipod.

That being said I did have a quick look at there notched leg model at the sika show and it definitely looked like it would be a better & easier model to use than what I've got.

Thats surprising. My very early model blew its guts like yours and a new guts was in the mail immediately. Screwed it in and had no trouble since.

Yes we were very surprised too. Especially when he had just finished telling me how they have put a better spring in the new v2 models along with tightening up the tolerances to help eliminate some of the play/movement the v1's had. They were the 2 things that we didn't like about the v1's we had just bought.
His response was send them back down to me and I'll ''upgrade the spring and latch for $50 each"

Hi Mate,

This was near on about 2 and a half years ago when we made the first initial upgrades. It was a pretty tricky situation at the time. We wanted to make them available to customers but we couldn’t do it for free as we would have had a flood of people and financially it would have been a huge hit for us being a pretty young business. So we opted to sell the upgrade at cost at that time for a period of a couple of months. These days we have ironed all the issues out and the bipods we sell today are pretty bullet proof. If there are any customer issues we deal with them immediately and we will repair or replace no questions asked.

Cheers
Ethan
