foxpig Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Does anyone know if rps bipod are still available. They don't reply anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Think they did a modified fortmeir type , Phoenix tactical moved to USA and spud 1967 does them now . Try GRS bipod this has a few more modifications ie 45 degree position and flip over feet for a gripping side or smooth side . Very happy with my fortmeir as it totally improved my group’s after using Harris and the accuracy international own model . cheers Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobthenailer Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Optics Warehouse used to bring them in but they haven't had any stock for a long time. I would be very interested to hear from anyone if they know where or how to get one, I have one and its probably in my opinion the best bipod I have ever used. I would definitely be up to buy another one. Kind regards, Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ds1 Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Andy, yes, no, maybe - I had one on my 20” AXMC but went back to the AX bipod. My mate has one on his 27” AXMC so I get to shoot both side by side still. I think the Fortmeier a very good compromise between a smaller bipod and an f class bipod if you are not competing. I get the pendulum principle. It’s not as good for f class due to the extra stability you can get from something like a Rempel ( had one of those to). For tactical comp stuff - for me it is bulky especially for unsupported sitting or standing shooting ( really needs to be detached from the rifle) and slow to deploy compared to my AX bipod. Also I need my bipod mounted further back to reach it from prone. The Fortmeier is much more stable though than my AI bipod. For something like the U.K. PRL matches I think it would be excellent if you like the recoil impulse. I prefer the AI type with a bit of pre-load the rifle tracks back flatter compared to the Fortmeier which is a bit more bouncy. This is with 338lm at targets under 600m at reasonable mag you are not going to hold the target anyway after recoil. This could be different with a 6mm round with less recoil happening - I noticed this last week shooting an AX in 6br - felt like 22lr. The bipod was an AccuTac at 100m on 25x mag the rifle did not move off target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 People are getting confused with all these bipods having similar names. The OP was asking about the RPS bipod. It’s very similar to the Sako TRG bipod. https://www.rifle-precision-system.com/product/rps-bipod-mkiii/ I am running one on my Accuracy International AT.

Cheers Rich That scope is a Schmidt and Bender PM11 3-20X50 my favourite scope so far having owned the 5-20X50 ulra short and 5-25X56. I still own a 4-16X50 as well, which if it wasn’t for the reticle would be my favourite as it’s so simple. It doesn’t even have illumination!!! next scope will be a kahles but undecided between the 3-18 or 5-25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ds1 Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 This was not my AX - I just got a few rounds through it. For me and from what I saw it worked ok with 5 rounds in the mag. More rounds in the mag may create issues. I don’t know if the mags had been modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the ultra short non illuminated- very good p4 fine ret and my big 3-27x56 . Might consider the 3-20 for the next rifle (223) .
