Build Thread Bipod Recommendations

[Benelli1776]

Been looking at Accu-Tac bipods for pic mount (BR-4 G2 and SR-5 G2). What is your experience with them? Good or bad. Altas looks, but I'm looking for the best. My application is plinking/ target shooting.

Edit: Backstory. I am a complete noob to bipods and this thread shows it. You will see trial and error and that's part of the learning process. I'm having fun with it. Enjoy.

Accutec Is excellent. So is Atlas. Can't go wrong with either. Just watch for Amazon knockoffs. Easy to get burned.
Harris isn't bad but springs aren't my thing.

Thanks for looking out and the tip on Amazon.

No experience with Accu-Tec bipods but I like my Atlas Bipod with ADM QD.

I've been too cheap and working the Harris - but after seeing MDT's offerings on a fellow competitor's rifle and getting to play with it a bit…that'll be my next purchase.

 

[Benelli1776]

Wow. MDT bipods look great. I'll check them out. Thanks

MDT Cyke Pod if you got the coin is a nice option.

It is hard to go wrong with an Atlas bipod and I have been happy with mine though I am changing a few up to other models for different situations.

I started out with Harris bipods and there was nothing wrong with them but I have been much happier with my Atlas bipods and have no regrets getting rid of my Harris'.

Love Atlas bipods.

 

[Benelli1776]

@Hueco and @ORhutner, I I'll research the MDT. Really appreciate y'all feedback on this.

Love Atlas bipods.

Which Model Atlas do you recommend?

I recently bought an AccuTac. I have not used it yet, but if you like bling its pretty dang cool being billet aluminum. I also like the ratcheting feature for extending the legs and spring to retract them. I have no experience with Atlas or Harris as Im sure they are just fine. I have only used the cheapos. That being said, you can get some nice bags for the cost of a high end bipod.

@Benelli1776 I prefer the CAL Atlas bipods https://www.accu-shot.com/catalog_new/atlas-bipods-official-manufacturer/237-bt65-lw17.html which doesn't have the pan feature. I want my bipod staying perpendicular to my rifle to make as stable a platform as possible and transfer that energy squarely into my body. If your squared up properly with the rifle this gives you the best opportunity to remain on target, spot your shots and get your next shot on target.

Stumbled on to this video that compares three bipods. Yes its his opinion, but I'll take real world opinions anyday.

@Cerberus Group @ORhutner @Five-0

Thanks all for the information.

I'll watch the video tonight.

I might get the Accu-Tac SR-5 G2 or BR-4 G2.

I'm not ruling out Atlas, though, because they are lighter in weight.

Thanks for sharing the YouTube video. Great communication and real world breakdown of the the three bipods. You helped me finalized my decision and I can't thank you enough.

We are waiting in suspense on what that final decision is.

 

[Benelli1776]

I ordered the Accu-Tac SR-5 G2

Guys. I'm revisiting this since I tested the Accu-Tac SR-5 G2 and it does not fit my current application.

Checking out the Atlas now. Might test the Atlas BT10-LW17 next.

Looking at your post that started this thread...you wanted a bipod for plinking/target shooting.

I would think most any would work for that...why did the Accu-Tac not work for you?
