    I'm glad to hear that, I think the only question left now is pic rail vs arca rail, never heard of arca rail before this but from what I could find online it seems like a pretty good system.

    Arca is ok but it is significantly more real estate on the fore end and needs a much larger flat area to sit nicely. On a hunting rig I'd personally pick the small pic rail every time

    With my MTN bipod I also got some of their short picatinny rails which I have fitted under the forends of my rifles. Swapping bipod only takes about 10 seconds.
    As another said; the flex of the legs is advantageous. You don't preload these bipods hardly at all and the sligjt flex allows a s.ooth recoul with little or nil muzzle jump so long S you dont have a large drop at heel on your riflebutt.

    Mine doesn't rattle. It has a small amount of play when connected to the picatinny rail. Nothing to be of a concern. I highly rate it.

    Just another tidbit.

    Broke mine a few months ago, potentially due to my own fault.

    Sent it in, had it back repaired within the same week, zero questions asked. So if you are worried about it "breaking" their service appears to be very good.

    It was likely me trying to adjust something that is not to be adjusted, shearing off a thread.

    Love mine, i slide it under stretchy straps on my twinneedle bino harness for quick access when needed. Light as, and lots of features. Went from a backlanz to MTN. Backlanz was great too just too clunky for me and fell off a couple times in the scrub. The adjustment nuts being at the top of the legs are so much quicker and easier to use too. Also Matt is great to deal with.

    Twinneedle is making a pouch to go on the bino harness.
