    Backlanz CF Bi Pods

    Any one used these? Look cool, cost a fortune , but wondering how they operate on uneven ground in terms or tilt and pan and also how quickly they can deploy vs a Javelin?

    I saw one aboutb12 mths ago, had a play on a rifle but wasn't actually that impressed....they may have changed by now...just felt the clol and unclip was a bit clunky....but not given it a real go and certainly haven't rushed out to get one.

    Yes, I have the standard one (not carbon) which has the same attachment plate as the carbon and they are a bit clunky and have some movement in them. But having said that they work ok (the standard one).

    I got hold of the Spartan folks and they will ship a Javelin Pro to NZ VAT free (-20%) the new pro hunter is a good product I checked it out in H&F at the weekend but wouldn't pay $650 when you can get them for $460? from the UK. Their Lite version is light and modular too. It's tempting now they have the flush mount adaptors, makes them even more stable and tidier.

    I own a Backlanz Carbon and I am very impressed. From where they started a year ago when I first seen their products there has been a big improvement and they have made tweaks to the design. I think the main thing that sets it apart from the spartan for me is that you can keep the bipod on the rifle and the leg angle adjustments
