Attatching a bipod

[PUSC]

i want a bipod for when i go out lamping on my s410. but i dont know how and which one to attatch. i was looking at some harris ones but they seemed to be about 90 quid from my local range so went on ebay and found them for £30. i havent got any sling swivels on the gun either to mount it to

 

cheers for any response

Buy a sling swivel and attach, they cost next to nothing.

PUSC, just one thing, be careful that you don't get confused between Harris Bi-Pods and Rockmounts which are normally about £30. Harris Bi-Pods are far superior.

There’s one bit of advice I can give you when fitting a bi-pod to the air-arms 410 pcp, and that’s remove the stock, as so many of us start to drill thinking nothing of the cylinder that lies just above.

 

Bi-pods come in different forms, on adjustment to the legs and the thickness of the leg or base.

 

But if and when you do choose your bi-pod remember one thing, read above again.

I've got a Harris 9-13'' Swivel or (S) version on my S410.

 

I just bought a set of QD studs online and used the shorter one to attach the bipod to.

The main difference you will notice betwen a Rockmount and a Harris visually, is the securing bolt. On the Rockmount it has a thumbwheel type head, the Harris has a slotted allen type head. Physically, the Rockmounts are not as sturdy as the orginal Harris and will give if you put any force against them, the Harris will stay quite rigid. Oh and the price of course.

 

If you do end up with a Rockmount be careful not to overtighten the securing bolt to the QD stud. A friend of mine pulled his QD stud out of the stock doing so.

I have the JSR Pro bipod and whilst it isn't in the Harris class it does the job for the money. When considering fitting the QD stud take extra care and thought about it. As said above remove the stock. It sounds logical doesn't it but you would be surprised as to the tales of woe we've all heard. Offer up the mount to the gun, even try using some Blue Tack and jury rig to the stock to see if your happy with the positioning of it. Mark the hole very carefully ensuring it is on a central axis of the stock. I usually put two layers of masking tape over where I drill first to save scratching the stock. Drill a small pilot hole first. Do not use too much pressure when drilling and the stock won't splinter around the edge of the hole. Old adage applies here. - 'measure twice - cut (drill) once'. Good luck and take your time.
