6.5shooter Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 I use a thirdeye tac ftr bipod for most of my static shooting and I get alot more consistency in my accuracy. Atlas for everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Pimp Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Barry, The first thing to consider is weight - how much have you got to spare - under 18lb 2oz? Secondly, stability comes with rigidity and the span of the bi-pod feet - and don't forget, a lot of bi-pods get narrower as you raise the height. (The Mystic gets wider) The first generation Fito bi-pods were very stable but heavy and not easy to adjust from the prone position - another consideration. The Third Eye is one of the best - with easy adjustment and, the latest version is very light - and Osprey can Cerakote it to match your gun! There is always a full range of bi-pods on view at any Diggle F Class shoot - why not have a good look next time - instead of shooting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnery Posted December 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 I Vince thanks for comment (you trying to tell me something) have a look instead of shooting don't want to sell your mystic do you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Plus one on what Vince says re the Third-Eye and the Mystic - both excellent designs. I now use Dan Pohlabel's FLEX-Bipod and get very good results with it. An innovative design but which works extremely well, is very stable and is light at under 0.6kg. Brian Fox stocks them. http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/?s=flex-bipod&submit=Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnery Posted December 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 hI Laurie thanks for reply would it be fair to say the evo would be the best choice over the other two because of the fine adjustment also I see Davy the shooting shed as one out with a very wide footprint and fine adjustment screw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
