Scotch_egg Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Baldie won the fly shoot with one. Very nice bit of kit. Very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Mounting via a short piece of picatinny rail to every gun you own (or want it to fit), one bipod would suit all........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Ewen has one, version 7. Now up to version 8. If its for 338 or bigger have a look at Snipers Choice Bipods. David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted August 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Max would be 338, I have ideas for a suspended type for a "larger" calibre, which may come to fruition next year. Was thinking of V8, I know Dave has one too, just didnt get the hance to check it when I last saw him (he was surrounded by adoring fans) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deserttech Europe Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 We run them on our personal rifles and they are superb... Much better in our opinion than a Harris. regards DTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebell Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I have one and well it just feels so well engineered. Also have rear monopod, which was a bit of a fiddle to fit and in all honesty it could probably do with being a bit longer (but perhaps that is cos my shooting angle is a bit different to you guys!). If you are looking for silent - probably not that but on the whole a different planet to Harris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 As mentioned I shot mine in the fly shoot, and was most impressed. It could have been a one off, but i doubt it. It will get a second competition testing at the nationals this weekend. I will have it on the mcqueens gun. I think it works, because it MAKES you shoot properly, by loading the bipod....instead of idly pointing the gun a la harris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I concur the atlas allows a shooter with average experience to load and lean into the mass rather than Harris which nearly provide a stable rest Definitely worth the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20Tac Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Do you have to have a picatinny rail to fit one of these? They look like a good bit of kit, but I can see a picatinny rail being a bit of a nuisance if you're shooting off another surface without the bipod attached.

Ronin Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I understand that if you fit a short section of Anchutz rail - into a channel into the underside of the stock (I have a couple of rifle with full rails) - there is a fitment which allows the Atlas to be secured. Even if the Atlas is secured with a short section of picatinny rail - this is easily revovable if the nuts are bonded into the barrel channel (stock) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 All my macs have anschutz rails in them. The atlas has a little part that slides in and locks, and the picatinney is bolted to it. I am sold on the bipod. I won the mcqueen [subject to confirmation ] at the nationals this weekend at Bisley, with a 57 ex 60, then shot a 55 ex 60 as a tiebreak. Its upped my scores twice in two trips. I,m now going to sell all my harris bipods. Here,s the gang i,ve spent the funniest weekend ever with, and its gonna take a week to recover from. The hereford specs are because 2 of the guys are serving soldiers, and the third is a little more. The 3 fat bastards speak for themselves.

A little more what?! or, looking at the specs on the kneeling extreme left bloke, are you actually saying he's a 'little moor' (as in berber) ?

US$210 = £136 plus duty (2% ?) = £138 plus VAT = £162 plus shipping them to UK + £X Not sure that makes £180 worthy of a moan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
