David Hancock Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 I don't care about the whingers - and by Golly are they some in the shooting scene - but I had an excellent day at the NEC today. Great new products to view and review. Companies who had actually taken care over presenting their products with clarity and pride - not like the game fair going through racks of shite by some companies - great chats - thank you all, great courtesy and a couple of purchases shipped back to the office to hide from the wife !

Scotch_egg Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Please can some one feed back the new Teir one bipod. I hate the company name but hopefully the product will achieve innovative status and not copy existing products on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could read our review http://www.targetshooter.co.uk/?p=2829 The name? Well, it was Third Eye Tactical but such names are less than PC in some circles.......

The video isn’t very clear but it looks good. Same legs as the one you have reviewed but cantilevered above the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chanonry Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Looks good. At 12oz does that mean its a bit heavier than a similar Harris ? I was thinking of it more in a stalking context but not much point spending £250 to end up at about the same weight despite all the carbon. I appreciate that's not its primary purpose though. Probably a bit low for the hill as well. Still looks like a nice option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a bit low for the hill as well. Still looks like a nice option I was interested in the model Vince reviewed and asked for the weight of the carbon and aluminium models. This is the reply I got. As you can see it’s not really worth going carbon and certainly not a stalking weight. Aluminum 180mm pan and tilt - 342g 180mm tilt only - 322g 230mm pan and tilt - 398g 230mm tilt only - 376g Carbon 180mm pan and tilt - 340g 180mm tilt only - 318g 230mm pan and tilt - 384g 230mm tilt only - 364g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I fitted the new tier one bipods to two of our display rifles on the Accuracy international stand. I was so impressed, I will be buying some for the shop this week. The quality is superb. Direct fitting to AI fore end, and the bipods are light. Most certainly lighter than a Harris.

Scotch_egg Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Thanks Dave Inhave seen the AI instagram Post shaking them on the AX and ASR. I hope I can fit one to my AT. Weight wise I was told between 270 and 380 grams depending on the adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave thorniley Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 hi do they fit like a harris or just a piccatiny rail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L B Jefferies Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Any photos of the new bipod? I think I've seen it in a photo of a Bergara rifle from the show, but you couldn't see the pivot/attachment point. I'd also like to see if it would fit an AT spigot.

terryh Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Now now Mark , you lurv of bi-pods is showing thru’ 😉 Thread does seem a bit light on show detail though? 🤔 For example would you be able to ‘stock up’ for the year on consumables? I did not go but asked a friend to obtain some RS80 and he only found 1kg on the Saturday = no good T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind the bipod Vince, I’m sure it’s well up to Craigs usual high standards...but what is that abomination you’ve mounted it to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
