Atlas Bipod Fakes

We don't support fakes if you want to talk about knock-off stuff go to FB.
These fake products steal from companies who support not only us but the entire shooting community, you're doing harm buying them.
There are authorized Airsoft Models, ask B&T which company that is, but the copies have no business being discussed or promoted.
This is like asking which NYC sidewalk vendor sells the best fake Louie Vuitton.

I hope you are looking for the real deal, Triad Tactical, Bison Tactical, Mile High, etc. For a real fake...............EBAY.
Well, a good place to go to make sure that you get the real deal is to the source:

Other good solid vendors from here on the hide:

https://www.bisontactical.com/collections/bipods
https://www.milehighshooting.com/rifle/bipods-monopods-tripods/bipods/
And there are more solid vendors here too.
EDIT: Well, I guess that I assumed the OP wanted to avoid the fakes, but re-reading his post, I might have gotten that wrong.

Thanks for the links! Have one on my Wilson Combat 6.5cm but it doesn’t have the quick disconnect to easily share with my other rifles. It’s a great bipod and I love it and maybe I just got lucky as I purchased it through Amazon.
Sorry Lowlight......this is the only social media type outlet that I participate in and I only joined because my perception is that it has integrity. BTW......when do you sleep? Appreciate the difficult task you must have.
Thanks Xander! Amazon gift card birthday gift that I want to use toward the purchase.
You have to be careful with the Atlas bipod fakes. Definitely check yours once it arrives. I received a fake from Optics Planet. I thought it was on the cheesy side, so I took a picture of it and sent it to Atlas. They verified it was a fake. I sent that one back to OP and ordered one from Midway. The one from Midway was legit.
A friend of mine bought a used one, that he thought was legit and when we went to the range together I had to tell him the bad news. Compared it with mine with him, and showed him the differences. Let's just say he was less than impressed about being ripped off. These fakes can ruin a company because the people who never realize they are fakes just think they are a piece of shit and tell all their friends not to buy them.
Think I’ll just use the Amazon gift card for something else and buy direct? Don’t mind paying, just not twice for the same thing. Gonna go with a medium with quick disconnect to use with all my rifles and leave the short on the Wilson 6.5. Once you have used one your done. Have a Harris and can’t stand it now.
A former coworker of mine had one of the fakes on his 6.5 Grendel and I managed to break it at the range by simply loading it against the edge of the table. Totally understand why you want to avoid them lol.
That said, Primary Arms usually has the real deal in stock at a decent price.

I’ve got one “on order” at OpticsPlanet..this sucks. I was just trying to use up old credit $ with them
The box my 5H came in probably cost what a clone cost to make.
Come to think of it, probably twice as much.

IDK. If I was not a savvy consumer, I would have been a victim of chinese copycat theft
Post on FB this AM from North Texas,
A student's fake atlas broke while dry firing before they even started shooting.

Amen! Fuck the knockoffs and the assholes helping to steal from hardworking folks!!!!
A few corrections;
1. There are NO authorized manufacturers of the Atlas besides B&T Industries LLC (the contract with Magpul Asia was never signed as he could not stop the fakes).
2. We are not sellers on Amazon. We have dealers that sell on Amazon.
3. OpticsPlanet IS a Authorized dealer. HOWEVER there are clowns out there buying a fake Atlas from Amazon, the leading purveyor of all things fake, then buying a authentic Atlas from an authorized dealer X. Then the clown sends the fake back to said authorized dealer X. Authorized dealer X shipping/receiving does not know or does not inspect the return. Then honest citizen orders a Atlas from Authorized dealer X that then un-knowingly sends fake Atlas to customer. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH MULTIPLE DEALERS. We have sent all dealers a powerpoint guide to tell the difference.
The only thing I'd use a Amazon gift card for would be to buy toliet paper. Nah, failure of TP is not acceptable and there's no way of knowing if the TP is the real deal or fake crap. Wait.....
Today, 40% of all our calls and emails are regarding fakes that have broken. The worse of the lot, even after being identified as a fake and told this, they still expect us to make repairs under our lifetime warranty!!

After cancelling OP order Saturday..I ordered from Primary Arms. Delivered today in NC. Pretty outstanding first purchase from them. This is my first Atlas, top notch
I do have a question though...pan and can’t tension knob turned all the way opposite off arrow...seems extremely tight still to pan/cant. I have got PSR model with ADM QD, any thoughts here would help.
Ive wanted an Atlas for so long and I just looked at what you guys in America are paying for an atlas and dam we are being gouged in Australia! even with exchange rate and crazy high postage cost its still some 25-40% cheaper to order from the states! $500aud is the reason I just gave up and bought a Caldwell rest for the range, There is even a group buy on and its half the price than local! Im happy to pay a little more for an item locally and buy quality but being bent over is ridiculous.
TipToeTango, Thank you for getting an Atlas!! Mount it up on rifle that you have verified as being EMPTY. Hold rifle between knees and move legs to 90 degree position, then holding the legs move them through both the Pan and Cant arcs. This should be easy and after doing this a couple times, easier. It'll never be loose but with tension. let me know if this helps.
predator308, thanks for considering our bipod. We ask all our dealers to stick with MAP, the BT46-LW17 is 319.95 our best full featured bipod and it seems like a bargain price when compared to other "new" bipods that have copied Atlas features. And the Atlas has a lifetime no "fine print" warranty, you break, we fix!

Awesome sir I will do that. I’m mounting on 6.5 Creedmoor I’m having Gradous build. Should be in hand by end of week! I will let you know if I have issue, just felt crazy tight out of package.
Just bought an Atlas BT10 for my precision rifle and I'm buying another for my AR. Awesome product...looked for "deals" and found that the genuine Atlas bipods are always the same price as they are on the Atlas site.
If they are discounted they are fake. Unless it's thru a deal here at Snipers Hide or whatever.
The original is the best. All the knockoffs are cheap, cheap, cheap, so if you find them discounted they are generally fakes. Don't buy them.
VooDoo

Buy a CAL2, I don’t think the Chinese are copying them yet...

I don’t have a CAL 2, just the first version, which works really great for the specific application I bought it for. At some point I will buy another Atlas as I do believe they are a superior product.
Would it be possible for you to post that power point on here someplace so we can identify the fakes? I just ordered a CAL gen 2 from Midway, hope I get the real deal and not one somebody did the ole chicom switch and return!

Getting ready to order a CAL & will be going direct from B&T, as far as Amazon I would not give them one red cent, everything they sell is either fake or Chinese shit, Jeff Bezos is nothing more that a liberal Seattle scumbag.
I saw the Atlas CAL bipods at Shot last year. I don't think that I got around to writing about them in my new products section but I was impressed. I think the addition of the PodLock combined with the cant feature really completed the design. Before, despite the high manufacturing standards, I was not a big fan of the Atlas. On anything not perfectly flat leveling was a pain when compared to the PodLock Harris I was using. The CAL combined everything that was good about that Harris with everything good about the Atlas for a superior overall product.

We have spent a ton of time educating our dealers how to spot fakes. I believe you can buy from ANY authorized dealers posted above and get an authentic Atlas bipod.
The only thing that will change the course Amazon is on is for the federal government to pass a law holding such marketplaces liable for IGNORING the counterfeit products sold on their website. That’s why I was excited to read Trump did not care about bozo. Bozo appears to support socialism so his cash will support socialist. Amazon started off great, but their greed has blinded them.
Thanks! Please feel free to stop by this SHOT, we’ll be in same booth, 20135 in LE section, and we’ll show you the new stuff we’ve done. Sharing your SH screen name will help!
Yeah I actually bought my CAL2 from the dreaded Optics Planet because they offered free 2 day shipping and I needed it for the weekend.
