Chris-NZ Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 My son wants to have a go at shooting F-TR here in NZ. I can let him use my NRA rifle which doesn't get much use these days. I have a suitable basic scope but need a bipod. My Harris' probably won't cut it.. What are your recommendations for decent bipods? cheers Chris-NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 So no-one shoots F-TR on here?? Would have thought there are at least a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hi Chris, while I'm a F open shooter my first interest in a F TR rest would be the Seb joystick There are many other rests out there as I'm sure you're aware, possibly the next two on my list would be the Dolphin bipod and the Evo F TR bipod from Third Eye Tactical. Hopefully someone with actual experience will contribute to this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnery Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 i Chris i shoot FTR with a AI 308 and keep it simple by using a Atlas bi-pod and a THLR squeezie back back not saying thats all you need but works for me i have tryed the mystic bi-pod from foxy they are light but a solid platform to shoot from but i prefer Atlas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris-NZ Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Thanks guys, some good stuff to check out. That Mystic one seems a good possibility at first glance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Thanks guys, some good stuff to check out. That Mystic one seems a good possibility at first glance Yes.I have an evo and a rempell-the latter is a bit heavier,but both work very well,as I don't care much about a few extra ounces for range shooting.Ease of fixing to various stocks might be a factor,but really mostly if you want to transfer between eg rail and no rail.... gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brillo Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Try looking at these. Finding one is like searching for gold plated rocking horse droppings, but from reports from three shooters I know who use them, they are the ultimate in stability. http://www.50bmg.de/Zweibein/zweibein.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnery Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Barry, did you buy a mystic or just try one? What put you off? Hi Matt i just tried one at diggle in a comp nothing put me of but after trying it i did not feel any benefits compared to atlas even though the Mystic as a wider footprint the way i shoot the atlas is a good solid platform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcon Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hi, I shoot an AE .308 in FTR and because of the weight of the rifle, I went with a Fito Force Fusion, Link from Stuart Anselm at Osprey rifles. LINK <~~~~ Click Here ;-) It has a good wide base and I find it very stable and tracks well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20series Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Dolphin Gun Company, they do a good lightweight but stable bipod.. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Thanks guys for all that. Decided to run with a Mystic which is both light but strong. If my son eventually decides F-TR isn't for him. I can always run it on my heavy varmint guns. It's also only 200 Canadian dollars which is way cheaper than most of the alternatives Chris-NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hi it's Nicky, I use mystic bipod on 308, and I find it a solid solution to my rifle needs , use to use Harris bipod they are to dam flimsy for a rifle. Well that's my opinion . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
