Atlas BT10 vs Atlas PSR bipod?

[Sendit6.5]

What is the difference between these 2 bipods, other than about $40? I'm looking at buying one and I can't decide whether there's any reason to spend the extra $$. I haven't done a lot of prone shooting in a long time. So I don't have any hands-on experience with Atlas bipods to draw on.

What's the difference and which one would YOU choose.....and why??

The PSR is essentially the same as the BT10 v8.1 with non-rotating legs, stronger inner legs and fore/aft limiting bosses. If you are USING the bipod rough-and-tumble, the PSR is probably the one you want. For bench/range and most PRS-style matches, a BT10 is fine.

Atlas has blemished PSRs with no clamp (find your own ADM 170S clamp) for $220.

this ^^ except for i would 100% recommend the PSR for prs matches...i have ran atlas since i first started competing...the BT10s were good for about 1 yr before they were sloppy/loose and had to go back for refurb...my PSR has been going strong for 2 yrs now and is still tight and solid...DEFINITELY worth the extra cost

I dont do anything crazy with mine but I really like my BT10.

I have the same question. I have seen the answer written a few times and it is in their FAQ. I'm still having a hard time visualizing "These changes include non-rotational legs, fore and aft pivot limiting bosses (which are two pegs that help keep the muzzle level when loading a rifle to the bipod)". Any help here would be appreciated. I think I might just need to go and put these side by side and see for myself. I use a BT10 V8 today.

Personal preference plays a lot in these bipod...

Thanks fellas! Sorry didn't reply earlier but I've been on a bulldozer all day and just got off and saw the replies.

OK, how about this. Here are the BT10 and BT46(PSR) "side-by-side".

BT10 on top, BT46 on the bottom showing the pivot limiting boss (duplicated on the other side also):

Again, BT10 on top, BT46 on bottom showing the slot in the inner leg and extended boss with setscrew on outer leg that prevents outer leg rotation:

That does help. Thank you!

What is the point of the non-rotational leg and the pivot-limiting bosses? What problems do they fix?

I have a BT10, BTW.

Non-rotational legs are stiffer and won't roll on you when loading the bipod. The pivot-limiting bosses significantly limits the amount of forward (and rearward) flex or forward pivot when loading the bipod.

Never found the rotating legs to be a hindrance. I don't have to load the ever living shit out of the bipod to shoot.

This was off a concrete firing line with a plain ol BT10:

So how again is leg flex and rotation hindering me?

If my memory serves me correct, I believe it was a requirement set by USSOCOM. That would be a question best asked to those involved when they spec'd out the desired features.

Thanks. I think I'll rely on my own experience with the BT10, which I find lacking in no way at all.
