They are all much of a muchness. Iv got the low one, which is how I got it cheap. Iv figured out a way to shoot for it which works well for me. Get way down on the ground. You wont collapse a versapod.

I need another one, maybe two. Need one for the missus. Im yet to find a good NZ source. Want to combine freight anyone? Horihunter, you could have a go with mine if you can get at it. I dont need it for another two months. Its super low, so will feel wierd.

Did you get one from the 50 or 70 series? the 50s are only 159 the 70s are 299, the 70s are all steel so from your comments I'm thinking it must be the 71? I would be after either a 52 or 72, would be keen on combining freight if its worth while
I think I will look at an alternative mounting system for them though, having the sling attached to the adapter looks as though it will hang way off your shoulder and not ride properly, something like the accurracy international mount epoxyed into the stock or an adaptation of the ruger mount (been looking at the catalogue now lol) then could use the original sling stud for the sling without the bipod biting into your shoulder

There are a few good alternative mounting designs.

Sounds good, might order a AI attachment with the order to measure up and see if it could be integrated into thestock (dont you love plastic stocks)
