You dont need to spend £££££££ on a bipod.

Well it's an interesting point. We just want something to prop the front of the rifle on, it's no rocket science.

Everything is over engineered......

In the past three years, I have heard that a lot. Fcuking how much ? For a bipod ??

Usually uttered by a guy who bought the most expensive rifle he could afford. And binned the stock to put it in an expensive chassis. Which he got painted at great expense. Then he spent a huge amount on the scope - more than the rifle ! He then handcrafts homeloads using only the finest components. He avoids the chinese airsoft drag bags and chinsese pericases in favour of the real thing. Because, less face it - he wants quality.

Then he props the whole lot on a bipod whose design has not changed since it was fitted to a Bren gun last century. Or even worse an airsoft bipod that looks like an expensive bipod.

True this. I was shooting long range with a fellow that had a decently accurate rifle propped on what looked like an Atlas bipod. He was having a hard time connecting with steel all day and when I asked if his bipod was loose (perhaps??) he showed me the jiggling collection of rivets and stampings and pronounced it fine. "Just as good as an Atlas at one-quarter the cost!" While I agree some bipes are over engineered and over priced, a good bipod beats a P.O.S. bipod every time. Recently I have been testing the MagPul bipod on a couple of my Creedmoors and my 300WM. They are inexpensive compared to the Atlas but seem to work just as well for almost 1/3 the cost. In fact, I find them better than the early Atlas having the rolling feet. The MagPul, unlike so many out there, are at least solidly built and solid when deployed. That means everything.~Andrew

 

PS: I am a little miffed that this was a spoof. I'll need to call my bank and stop the paperwork....

Buy 2 and get 1 free. £9.99 each - you know it makes sense Rodney.
