Morning F'ers!!

 

I'm thinking of getting a bipod suitable for FTR. (Anschutz rail)

 

I have a Mystic now but I find the height adjustment tricky.

 

What are the current thoughts please? Tier One, Dolphin Tracker or AB or Shooting Shed (if David makes any more)

 

Thank you

Both the original (all alloy) Tier-One and the 2/3 metre-footprint carbon model are very good indeed. Likewise the Dolphin AB (another carbon fibre legs model) and the alloy Shooting Shed Stotteben. (The Stotteben is the widest of the wide at even more than 660mm footprint when at its lowest setting.)

 

They and the SEB Joy-Pod are all effective, easy to set up and use and can be seen being used by our top international FTR shooters. Bearing in mind David Bonwick (Shooting Shed) only making occasional limited production runs of his Stotteben, you see it in use by a disproportionate number of such competitors, but the SEB is likely the most popular at top club, and national levels.

 

I have both the Dolphin AB and Stotteben models currently on loan for review, have shot them with F-Open rifles up to 284 Win with 180s and regard them as very good indeed. I'll shortly do a write-up for them as a follow-up to that for the Tier-One Carbon in Target Shooter. The best one? It's a personal preference issue - I'd be happy to use any of the trio (and/or the SEB JoyPod). The Tier-One models with their spoked mariner wheel adjusters are probably the easiest to make minor in-comp height adjustments excepting of course the SEB with its joystick. (But it's remarkable how many people lock that one up solid and shoot without using the joystick facility.)

I've a Sinclair F Class bipod which I find very good.  Since I no longer shoot comp (have taken a break thanks to a trapped nerve), it will probably be in the classifieds as I've gone back to an Atlas type bipod for field work.
