srrb Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Are you able to get bio-pods for brake barrel air rifles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) You CAN but a one that clips onto the barrel for about £15 and it does the job To permanently mount a Bipod to a breakbarrel Could present a problem when cocking the action LG Edited March 26, 2006 by Lord Geordie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzer1 Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Yep you sure can............I use one my self on my TX200HC ...but make sure you put a bit off tape on the barrel or it will scratch the blueing!! :thumbs: They dont work for all springers though as I've tryed on a freinds BSA Lightning it was all over the place!! could not get a zero on it!!! They clamp on the end of the barrel as Lord Geordie has said. All the best Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNAKEBITE Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 The only time I used a bi-pod on a springer was to stop it laying on the floor! Not a good idea to use one for taking the shot as the recoil sends it haywire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity I know a springer recoils somewhat but so does full bore ......WHY don't you chaps reccomend using a bi-pod on a springer Ive It is all to do with the nature of the recoil. A full bore recoils AFTER the bullet has left the barrel, therefore any movement will not affect the aim. An air rifle (springer) recoils as the pellet is IN the barrel, due to the recoil being caused by the machanical action of the spring. This means any movement causes the pellet to go wide.

roblade Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) And shooting standing with a springer will give better accuracy than resting. sorry i missed this reply when i read this thread before, but i would have to disagree with this coment, standing shots with any rifle, other than a shot gun, are probably the hardest shots to give good accuracy. You may get one or two good shots ocasionaly but consistantly being able to hit a 2" target at 35 yards takes a huge amount of skill. The best way to get good groupings witha springer (other than bench rested) is using the FT sitting position, it give you a nice steady hold and alows the rifle to recoil naturaly. as for using a BI-POD (NOT A BIO POD, think that was in invasion of the body snatchers ) some rifle will be ok with them, others not. I would not recomend using a bipod with any spring rifle. If you do chose to get a bipod it will need to be the type that clamps onto the barrel/under lever and is abl to just slide up and down loosly. This alows the rifle to recoil and should keep it consistant. all the best ROB Edited March 28, 2006 by roblade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancs Lad Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Was once told by a great man,...............NEVER PUT A BIPOD on a springer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
