Atlas 5-H Bipod info thread.

[Triad]

Talk of the possibility of new products from Accu-Shot (5H) are detracting from threads on other topics.

I would like to start a new thread to alleviate some of that pressure.

Since Kasey and his (staff?) are the only ones with real intel at this time, lets hold off until he comments more.

If you would like to be put on the Triad Tactical email notification list for the 5H, please follow these links.

The V-10 is officaily called the 5H, so dont be confused if you see V10.

And now for a word from Kasey:

" Classified "

I sae Kasey posted somewhere that the V10 will be a more sturdy bipod for the higher caliber rifles, I think 338 and above, but I could be wrong. I havent heard anything about the V9 yet... Looking forward to some info from Kasey and gang...

 

[jasonk]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

I heard the V9 was gold plated and V10 is platinum.

 

[taseal]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

Yeah...

I was ready to buy the v8.1 but I can wait if I have to I guess...

 

[Rancid Coolaid]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

I've been exceedingly pleased with my v8s. Maybe I'll be able to buy a few lightly used in the near future.

If it ain't broke...

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

Is this thread an appropriate place to share product feedback with Accu-Shot? If not, could someone kindly point me in the right direction?

 

[SilentSH00TER]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

Since I have a the Quick Latch on mine I can hold off as I do hope they make a one aimed at the 338/408/50 crowd.

But knowing me I will buy another anyway just to try out the v8.1 vs my v8

Same situation... I was on Triad's page this morning ready to buy an 8.1 (might as well see what all the fuss is about and possibly ditch my Harris S-BRM) but then saw the placeholder for the V9... and now I think I might hold out for the V9.

 

[jasonk]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

Well I guess Kasey better come out with the V9 sooner than later, I think V8.1 sales are officially pronounced D-E-A-D.

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

whoops

 

[Triad]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

Let me try to clear up a few things:

1. V10 is a bipod for heavy rifles, and I dont think it should be considered as an replacement for an V8.1 (unless you have been using it on a really big gun).

Quoting Kasey in another thread:

"V10, designed for bigger bore stuff where weight is not such a issue. Different set of parameters, different product!"

2. If anyone other than Kasey knows what the V9 is, they are keeping a tight lid on it.

Again Quoting Kasey in another thread/post:

"V9 which is a departure from the world of bipods"
"is just barely gun related, but is in such a way to (hopefully) be attractive to the discerning gun enthusiast..."

Folks, the V9 could mean serious competition for the George Foreman Grill, or maybe its a perpetual motion machine, or it could be gun related.

Stayed tuned.....

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

LOL, Triad is a sick pup! Offering all kinds of services for information... lol

For the record I mentioned the V10 (which has been done several times here, it is a bipod for .338 up calibers) but this last time, a sharp minded member inquired with "what is the V9?" I should have said; the V9 is nothing. But was thinking about the project now known as "V9" as it is next up (well actually it is after the mortar but we should have that tomorrow so I was thinking downstream). Simply put, too much stuff going through the gray mass so please accept my apologies.

Being the situation is what it is, I will say the following;

1. I've taken an oath not to disclose the details about the "V9"

2. Our part number for the project currently known as V9 will not be "V9". (I took artistic license with our Bipod numbering system, skipping V9 for "V10" for use on the bipod mentioned above. We wish to keep bipods using that "V" numbering system and the other stuff from B&T Industries getting the "BT" prefix. So maybe BTV9?)

2. The project currently known as V9 is NOT A BIPOD. It is a departure from anything we have done to date.

3. We have taken some reservations (by force!

)for the project currently known as V9. (no additional information will be available to those making such reservations and we will still limit first production run to a manageable number).

4. As this exposure was not intentional and I blame only myself, my best suggestion is to suggest that you lower your expectations and try to get use to disappointment.

LAST - To be clear, the V9 IS NOT A BIPOD.

The V10 will not be replacing the V8 bipod. The acceptance we are getting from the SOF community with the V8 bipod it will remain our premier bipod for standard caliber rifles where high functionality and light weight are required.

The V10 will borrow patented features from the V8 and possibly some additional novelty. It will have HIGHLY TENSIONABLE pan and cant and a configuration different to the V8. It will not be as adaptable to some rifle stocks as the V8. It is designed for big bore rifles where additional weight and bulk is not an issue.

I have no availability ETA on either project.

Well in that note, my v8.1 has just been ordered... Hopefully I'll have it by tue

 

[Bearwalk]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

Thanks for the updates, guys. My next project is a 338 norma mag which I have been talking to Steve about. Sounds like the V10 will be perfect for this 17 lb beast.

Hopefully, the V10 comes out before my rifle gets here in November...hint...hint!

 

[gstaylorg]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

Maybe the V9 is the top-secret mount for the mythical Nightforce "Beast" (LOL).

 

[MinorDamage]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

If the V9 is a departure from anything done to date I will guess that it may be a chassis system. I am probably way off, but if I am close I can at least claim psychic powers when it comes out...or until Kasey corrects me.

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

Let the guesses begin....

 

[Kasey]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

Bearwalk, Thanks for the interest, got the hint, but sorry reference #4 above, a V10 delivery date in Nov. is a no-go.

We have to get 2 projects done before we have machines available for prototyping.

gstaylorg, uhhhh no, but if you had guessed something else you might have been closer?

MinorDamage, you have been corrected!

Here is a hint, the project currently known as V9, is just barely gun related, but is in such a way to (hopefully) be attractive to the discerning gun enthusiast...

This is pretty interesting. I'm excited to see what you guys come up with, Kasey. Gun related or not, I trust your products and will probably buy one regardless of what the heck it is.

 

[TimResin]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

Maybe kasey will be able to answer this but maybe its too secret

. Will the V10 be Rail mounted so that if we are already using the V8 we can upgrade?

 

[Kasey]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

THEBEARRRRRRJEW, thanks for the support, we'll do our best to not let you down!

TimResin, yes the V10 will be rail mounted but not as flexible as the V8 in mounting to the rail, i.e. one model, that fixes to the rail.

 

[xNF_9]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

Recently bought my V8.1 and love it. There are many items that Kasey has came out with that are amazing. Hopefully I can buy the V9 since 9 is my favorite number... (better be good Kasey

)

 

[Kasey]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

pink(MiST) Thanks!

If "9" is your favorite number that commits you to buy one!

I'll do my best to not disappoint you but you need to do your best to lower your expectations!

I think it might be.

A folding tripod (Atlas style). Could also be used for spotting scopes, cameras, surveying equip, and a bat for the bad guys when you run dry on ammo? hehe

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

Would the V10 be suited to an AIAW 300wm (with IMUNS)? Its a heavy SOB anyways. Would there be any benifit to the V10 over the V8 for this particular rifle?

Cheers.

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

As long as we're bumping this up, I have a question about the V10, as it seems less "top secret" than the V9. Although it was stated that it is intended for use with heavier, larger caliber weapons, is there any reason it wouldn't be suitable as an F-class bipod, as long as overall weight was not an issue? Also, is the stance any wider than the V8?

 

[Triad]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

"It will not be as adaptable to some rifle stocks as the V8."

So Im not sure...

 

[Kasey]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

gstaylorg, the V10 will be wider and weigh less than other bipods currently used in f-class.

The item currently known as the V9 is not "top secret", I just can't talk about it...

Kasey, I just bought the V8 bipod and like it very much!

Is there any chance to have the V10 for my F-Class rifle until november?

Pics? Thats a good one, no pics of something that does not "exist" yet.

But wait, soon Kasey will come around and tell me that it does exist, he's just not sharing.........

 

[gstaylorg]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

Kasey,
Thanks for the clarification on the V10, I was going to get another V8 but I think I might hold off for a V10. I don't even have the rifle it's going on yet, so the timing ought to work out pretty well.

As far as the V9, hey, it's all good. I'll find out when I find out, right? It's kinda like the waiting for a V8 as you brought up in the "Thoughts" thread recently. It'll get here when it gets here and I'm fine with that. On the other hand, if you find that not being able to tell anyone about the V9 starts eating you up inside, I'll be happy to help you with the burden (LOL).

Thanks for the heads-up on the V10!

 

[Kasey]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

vman - it did not happen.

LRCampos - no, sorry

Triad, I will share the love, no worries.

Guys we were awarded a bipod contract yesterday that we are very jazzed about and this comes on top of another contract we got Tuesday. SOOOOO we are slammed til November and civilian orders might get delayed but for sure the V9 and V10 will be. Sorry.

 

[R.O.U.S.]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

At what rifle weight should a person consider a V10 bipod?

[Wild_Bill]

Re: Atlas V9/V10 info thread.

Hi i will go out on a limb and tell you that the V10 should fit your AI Kasey is realy working on making this the best heavy rifle bipod out there i messaged him my opinions a while ago trying to help him out and we were on the same page he said one of us was in the others head it was not pretty at all. LOL Al i can say is these should be the best heavy rifle units and will support the weight of rifles up to 50 cal and handle the recoilcreating a stable platform to shoot from. The V8 is still the best small bipod out there in my opinion and is completly different to this unit the V10 will not be that slim light bipod for tactical shooting or high manovarability as most long range heavy calibre rifles are shot over longer distances this unit should be for positional shooting where fast adjustments are not realy required but will be able to be manovered from target to target. If you think about it the 338's are realy used on larger targets and i see the V10 for use on larger that 338 Lapua like the snipe tacs and above not that it wont work for a F Class bipod it will likley be perfect for that aswell.

My thoughts is think long to extreme range shooting and the V10 will be the Go To Bipod.


As for the V9 that could be anything.
