figgy Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 What bipods are people using? I've looked at the atlas and the Spartan Javelin types seen on the you tube shooters videos. At well over £200.00 more near £300.00 way over what I'm prepared to pay for two legs and a mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Ebay 6-9 inch , £15 delivered. 0.50 MOA groups through the .223 off my car bonnet. Do you think another £200 spent on a bipod will improve it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German pointer Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 I recently bought a Fortemier Phoenix for my centre fire and took the Harris off of it. I now I use the Harris 9-12 swivel no complaints on my HW110 despite it been on a few different rifles over the last 7 or 8 years or so with no signs of ware. I shot 40 crows one night last week each and every shot exactly where it was supposed to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telf Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Had a spartan about a year ago , nice well engineered bi-pod but i thought it was not as stiff/sturdy as harris etc , plus on its second outing i lost it climbing over a fence , luckily i retraced my steps and found it later on that day but the thought of losing £200 + in the blink of an eye put me off and so it was sold if i were to get another bi-pod now , it would be either deben or harris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie to this Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Recently bought a Magpul one for my Howa 1500 APC in .308. I'm yet to use it though. I mainly bought it because my handguard is M-lok and it fits with no adaptors. https://www.magpul.com/products/magpul-bipod-for-m-lok Other than that it is a Harris style cheapo from ebay or a Buffalo River harris style.

Blackbriar Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Is there any sense in spending a fortune on a bipod that's going on an air rifle, and won't be subjected to any great recoil forces ? Got mine from EvilBay, 3 years ago, change out of £20. Decent quality, does the job required of it........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted July 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) No point at all, that's my point. I'm not spending hundreds on a bipod. I'd like to know what cheaper ones people are using and reccomend. Edited July 1, 2019 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had two in 18 months. In the end I gave up and bought a second hand Harris. It's not missed a beat, 3 years on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clakk Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Never have another ,theyre a feeble Harris copy and this sucker is keeping his wallet shut .The V life <probably out of the same factory as all the other generic copies> on the other hand puts up with all my clumsy and keeps working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exudate Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Buy a Harris. Buy well, buy once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyboy1950 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I have several cheepie "Zeadio" bi pods from the evil bay less than £20 posted, they make 3 different heights and have used them on my rifles up to and including 308 with no problems. They are also swivel which is handy. Only alteration I did make was to put a cut down biro spring retained with a bit of garden wire to spread the retaining nipples to make it easier to attach and remove from the rifles. I have got Harris and Webley Bi pods but rarely use them, as has been said, why spend a small fortune on a Bi pod when a good quality cheepie will do the same job.
