Hi guys

My father has just picked up a Anschutz 64 Mpr for benchrest shooting and is looking for a bipod to suit the rail and rifle. 

He's stuck a Harris style bipod on the just now with an adapter for that rail, but was wondering what bipods are purpose suited for that type of rail, as the Harris isn't as steady as he'd like with using the adapter. 

What alternatives are you talking about that are more accurate?

CNC machining wont make all the actions identical ,unless of course there is no tool wear i suppose ?  Although the batch numbers would be low enough to make variations mimimal maybe .. Interested to know what the acceptable tolerance would be for them ..

That's not quite true. 

If you want to go into real precision engineering, then tool wear can be compensated for during machining process.

Wither that be by temperature control or CNC probing and compensating plus other methods. 

Biggest factors tolerance wise can be seen between materials used and temperature management that material can handle. 

Yea it's most probably an isolated issue. Unfortunately it's put us off the rifle. Shame though as the 1 we had, had a lovely stock on it with some tiger striping. 

We wound ours down to the lightest setting and yes it still could be doing with going lighter again

Let me know how it shoots mate. We had to send ours back as it wouldn't seat the round properly. 

Think they hadn't taken the reamer deep enough. 

Hawke sidewinder 6-24 is a damn good shout

Pics are there now mate

Stunning rifle again. 

Really need to decide on wither to go with a custom rifle for my first centrefire or go down the off shelf option till I learn the ropes. 

Anyway love the idea of the bighorn action and I have a real hankering to have something similar to this once. I get my finger out. 

Yup you’ve now put me in the mood for a curry. 

Not so sure I’ll have time for all that, though it does sound lovely.
