It’s my 50th coming up and Mrs C could buy me a better bipod...
What’s better, the https://backlanz.co.nz/products/backlanz-detachable-bipod-carbon or the https://www.stagersport.co.nz/products/javelin-mk2-long-bipod?_pos=4&_sid=92d2184da&_ss=r
Amazingly the product from Stager sports is cheaper!
Haven't had experience with the backlanz. But I own two javelins. Love them. Easy to use etc
Cheers Lars, I might catch up and have a look some time.Quote:

Imagine being told that a local vendor would rather export a product at a lower price than sell direct to domestic customers... oh wait, happens all the time :O_O:
With Javelin can you get an adapter that works on picattiny rail ?
Got the Backlanz, love it, Kiwi made and a bloody ripper product
@WildBrad had the Javelin and now has the Backlanz. Feedback from him so far is he prefers the Backlanz. They are so ridiculously light that I think being able to keep it attached and folded up for quick deployment if needed is worthwhile.

Got the javelin, not the most rock solid as the gap between the legs isn't wide. Have a 50th coming up too and if the budget can afford it that Backlanz looks bloody good.
I should have added that I’m thinking carbon version of the Blacklanz.
Yea that’s the only reason I don’t have one haha.Quote:

Pulled the trigger on a backlanz last week. No regrets at all. Weight savings over a Harris definitely makes it worth it for me. Very quick to attach when needed.
Impressed with how well designed and made it is. Really steady when you load forward into it. Buy once cry once.. Well not quite I’ll be buying more attachment plates for other rifles [emoji16]

I had both and ended up selling the javelin.
For me having the fold up legs was the winner
The backlanz is lighter and better movement.
If your used to a Harris buy the backlanz
And it’s Nz made
If you want light - Neopod bipod, carbon fibre stuff. Price is up there though - lighter than Backlanz but each has its pros & cons.
I run a javelin, epoxied flush adaptors in to my stocks easy as no sticky outy bits on fore stock
The neopod is not really carbon fibre, it’s a cast plastic material. Pretty flimsy and fragile.

I’ve had my backlanz for sometime now and have just brought a rifle with a javelin bipod. Compared to the backlanz it’s pretty limited on adjustment just height some pan and tilt. I can’t see myself using it the backlanz beats it hands down and its kiwi made

Had the neopod. Agree plastic and flimsy. Javelin is good but keen to try the kiwi made one now.

Quote from the Neopod manufacture in Norway - It is made from carbon fibre reinforced PEEK polymer. How many bipods do you need to go through before you think you have the right one - sounds an expensive process? Just trying to figure what people end up with and at cost by the sounds?
