BIPOD HELP NEEDED

[SteveW]

Hi guys

I require some advise/help, up until 2 weeks ago i've always used Harris bipods, but i thought i would try out a Versapod bipod because of the ability to track around Many times while tracking foxes thru the scope with the Harris, i've had to lift up the rifle and reposition to continue to track ( especially with the NV as generally they haven't got a clue your there and just carry on with whatever they are doing ) Well now comes the bit i need your help with, when the Versapod is in the up position it's all nice and tight, no excessive movement, but put it down ready to fire and there is excessive slop in the joint between the leg section and the rifle connection part. Now this joint has a nut and bolt connection, i've tried to tighten this with a socket wrench and spanner

but it doesn't appear to have any affect, plus i dont want to break it Has anyone had similar probelms or suggestions !!!

Cheers Steve
