Accutac Bipod

[Danco411]

I have been a huge fan of Atlas for many years. I recently sold mine with a rifle build and needed to buy a new one but could not find one in stock. I took a change and purchased an Accutac LR10 QD from Rainier. Wow is this thing well built. I love the look and the QD mount is excellent. Deploying the legs is smooth and easy. It came with rubber feet but I also bought the spiked feet for another $25 which as fast and simple to swap. It is a beefy unit no doubt. I went with the LR10 over the SR5 because I often shoot from prone and I am tall. With the legs retracted it is 7" and the perfect height for me on the bench whereas I had to deploy the legs on my Atlas. With the Accutac LR10 legs deployed at 11.5" it is easier off barriers and on the ground. The LR10 leg angles are completely different than the Atlas. In the LR10 you pull down on the leg and slide it to the next notch whereas you push the button on the Atlas. Same result just different motions. The Atlas definitely loads easier than the Accutac. Some may not think it loads enough but I don't have any problems. Overall I am pretty happy with it. I have it on my Savage/XLR .260 with a BT Industries monopod on the stock. I switch between the monopod and an MOA bag depending on setup. I plan on buying the smaller SR5 for my Grendel AR15 which will be a good match. I hope this helps anyone considering options other than the Atlas.

Due to the difference in loading, has there been any noticeable point of impact shift or system bounce? I love Atlas but hate change. The price of the Accu-tact is worth a look if comparable to the Atlas though.

Alan from Machine Gun tours had it on the Ruger Suppressed rifle, it's in the video I shot. Wasn't really a fan of it.

The way the pivot point is, seems to me, to work against it. The legs are way over engineered, big and heavy, then it funnels down to that tiny pivot point and blows it.

Plus it is very heavy

I understand the subliminal message, stay with Atlas thanks

I like the idea of it. I like the way the legs adjust, as it's quicker than at Atlas. But I ended up selling it and getting an Atlas after a year or so. It is a huge bulky bipod, even when stowed. It hangs down way further than it really needs to and hangs up on everything. Also, when shooting from odd positions with the legs at 45 degrees, I found that it was possible for the recoil or loading the bipod to cause the legs to fold in. Not cool at all when you are already in a bad position and your rifle collapses after a shot. The idea is sound and the bipod seems well made, but it needs some improvements to compare to an Atlas.
