Thread: MTNGEAR BIPOD Question(s)

Our sling tab rails keep the attachment close to the stock and only moves it back about 1cm which is going to be far better than the harris but there are a lot of other factors so no guarantee it will be perfect either. My question is how does it carry without the harris on the existing swivel stud? Typically the best sling solution is mounting qd cups in the side of the stock as far forward as possible. A possible worst case option.

Any specific questions feel free to get in touch. matt@mtngear.nz 0273103222

Hi Matt,
Thanks for your post and comments. Also for your time at Sika Show to demonstrate the system. To answer you, my rifles shoulder carry OK without any bipod attached but most of the time I carry rifles in my hands so shoulder carry is not a huge factor. It's just that as the Harris is fiddly to attach / detach it tends to stay on the rifle so the shoulder carry discomfort becomes annoying.
If using your system I'm sure I would tend to tote the rifle with a detached bipod and only attach it when use is called for. Your design allows pretty fuss free attach / detach ( ments ).
A credit to you that the above feedback is so positive. I see myself joining the brotherhood of users in due course

Sounds good, when ready to order if you need a number of rails or other accessories flick me an email and I will see what we can do.
