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

Really nice setup John. You have no excuses when using that !!

Ergo Tactical Deluxe. I too have big hands and its the fattest grip I could find.

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.

Amazingly, on my facebook - posts for my proper bipod are only getting a quarter of the attention this spoof has !

All it needs to be really Tacticool is a quick spray with Flat Dark Earth...

I have a Halfords just around the corner - any colour is doable..........

We can offer you our budget one instead.

He had a go at me to for ending a grey squirrel at long range , he doesn't like me either i think . I like your unorthodox approach to threads 

What on earth are you talking about ? I dont care what you do to squirrels and have never commented on it !!

Jeez H christ, how touchy can you lot get???   I never dreamt that my post would give rise to so much hypertension.................I thought shooters were made of sterner stuff.

Pete

Not your post in particular - there is a drip drip drip of sectarianism in our sport !

No hypertension here. Rather the opposite - I am off to Shot Show in Las Vegas tomorrow.

I shall spend a day on the range and 5 days walking the booths. No doubt, I will come across vendors with things that dont float my boat. And I will just walk by. I wont feel the need to blunder in and tell them they are doing it wrong ! 

It would be refreshing to see certain negative individuals do the same, online.

Why don't we all start fighting amongst ourselves? After all it isn't as if anybody else is out to get us! Let people do what they enjoy. I mean if you are a stalker the plan is to get reasonably close anyway. As long as people are safe, have fun I say.

David.

Well said David.

All this holier than thou bullshit gets tiresome.

Each to their own ! Growing up in Ireland I thought I had experienced sectarianism..........then I became a shooter in the UK and realised I had seen nothing yet !

90% of my shooting is competitive, be it CSR or the NRA run matches a few times per year. The rest is vermin and deer stalking.  I dont particularly enjoy "plinking" but would not dream of looking down on those who enjoy it. Or claiming that my way of enjoying my hobby is superior / is "Gods way"  :-/

Crack on and enjoy your shooting - be it unsupported or off a bipod, 100 yards or 1000 yards, F-class or CSR, airsoft or airgun, camo or leather etc etc etc

And if you have nothing good to say about your fellow shooters choice of shooting, how about saying nothing at all !!

Very nice !!

I needed the same - ability to use at 20 yards and up to 300 yards with same scope.

Went with Leupold EFR - highly recomend it. Look for a used one on ebay etc

Do you know if they are they the Ti model? 

 

Your direct experience of an Oceania Mod is what I was looking to obtain. The mark 1 ear doing the comparison and not some machine where quite clearly there are all sorts of science factors that will cause inconsistencies is far more informative for my needs. I would hate to be be left in the same boat as the owners of the product Brown Dog refers to, that was utterly crap and was hardly any different shot being fired from an unmoderated rifle. 

Also the fact the NRA will be putting a few rounds through the Oceania’s throughout a days McQeens shooting they must be standing up pretty well. 

 

It’s not all about DB suppression. Gas flow management, durability and weight are all factors when choosing a silencer. 

 For me it is much more pleasant to put a shot down range through a silencer rather than a muzzle brake or naked muzzle due to the pressure generated, that’s a personal choice.  On range hearing protection should be worn because there will firearms present that don’t use silencers. 

 

When stalking/hunting the use of a silencer will often be enough for people to choose to for go hearing protection. The amount time of exposure to a dangerous level of sound is very short and there are other factors that will also have a bearing on the hazard, such as being behind the muzzle report and not having the sonic crack going over head. 

 

I believe it has been acknowledged for some time that manufactures DB reduction claims are not to be taken at face value. However the link I posted to a review by the New Zealand magazine  appears to have been conducted on a level playing field in terms of the same conditions etc  whether or not this has been viewed by recent posters I’m not sure.

No idea if Ti or not - I just remember being at the match and the moderators were very quiet indeed !

The Accuracy International 308,s that are supplied by the Bisley Armoury for the McQueen competitions have these Oceania mods fitted.

If thats the case - very quiet - quieter than my Ase Utra which is what I compared it to.

I got a great Timney 2 stage for my 595 from Baldie.

Scotch I was going to have a phoenix on the HABU but we're the bipod will mount on the top of the forend,it will interfere with sling mounting point on the side of the forend so I will have to go underneath. Thanks mate.

You could go with my type B ?

6.5-8" and 7-9" in stock and ready for shipping.

Damn shame as this has just put my rather expensive Leatherman out with the law.......... Ffs

Yes - which is why I have a Gerber "bladeless" multitool. Designed without a blade for employees of "knife free" zones in US.

Or you could use a SOG which has a non locking blade.

Nowadays I EDC a swiss army knife.

I guess these are a no go then ?

You might be ok. No knife or pointed article :-)

Thanks - was not aware buckles had been specified.

Put "Your Honour" on the end of that and say it out loud (to see how that would sound in court )

Correct - down to a court to decide.

However, being the equivalent to a swiss army knife or multitool in contents, I reckon you would stand a good chance.

Its not as if its a dagger being stored in the buckle.

And looking like is not the same as disguised !

I will stick to my trusty swiss army knife though.........

Open to interpretation really.

Is it "disguised" ?

With the makers name emblazoned and parts visible at side ?

Is it marketed as "disguised" ?

Lets face it - a multi tool looks like a pliars to the layman but its not disguised as a pliars.

Just found this, obviously not for air travel but interesting all the same.

Like it !!

Always glad to hear from a happy customer.

Well done! Which size did they choose?

Type B in 6.5 - 8".

My Phoenix Tactical Bipod ( among a few others I understand ) has been undergoing assessment by a certain Police Firearms Unit as a replacement for the Versapods on their Accuracy International rifles.

They have had a 7 - 9" and a 6.5 - 8" Type B with AI spigots to play with for a couple of months now.

Just had the great news that mine came out on top so they have ordered a batch !

If any of you spot my bipod in any Police media pics, please post here and you will be rewarded !
