Precision Rifle Gear Bipods?

[Matt ironwood]

Whats everyone using for a doall bipod?

Obviously, lightweight and sturdy enough to shoot accurately?

Not sure it matters but will be using a arca mount, and rifles would be a seekins element, seekins slam, would use in mountains hunting, from a tree stand, and bench when shooting 100-300

I bought my kid the Warne Skyline Pro last week, and I was very impressed. It is very Ckyepod ish and about 1/2 the Price. If you are a Mil/LEO or PRS member you can get it far less than MSRP. I run a Cykepod for reference.

Ill have to check that out, is it light?

20oz. I just remember it feeling sturdy when I handled it. I can’t speak to the quality of it yet since we just got it. He used it in a bench match last week and liked it.

I also have a Warne Skyline Precision on my hunting rifle - I think it is directly comparable to an Accu-tac in terms of stability and rigidity, and I have not seen any others that are as functional with one hand.

I bought an Accu-Tac to try, and gotta say, I hate it. Really slow to deploy, it was very sturdy, but mine was too short, and the whole pulling the legs out to deploy thing bites! The range officer was glaring at my son and I as we set up and took down the rifle.

I disagree. Much faster to grab a leg and pull rather than finding a button (especially when cold and gloves or low light).

Accu-Tac is not a best all-around bipod, They're made for shooting .22s or free (modified free) recoil where you do not load the bipod. The guy who owns Accu-Tac comes from air guns, which is why they're so tight with no play. For heavy recoiling rifles I prefer Atlas or EI though.

Unless I'm shooting up and need elevation (or transitioning up and down), I almost never shoot prone with the legs straight out. I almost always put it on the spigot mount (as far forward as possible), put the legs forward at a 45 to get the rifle as close to the ground as possible, and use a small squeeze bag as rear support rather than a game changer or other big bag. I see lots of guys extending legs and getting the rifle high with a big bag, but I wasn't taught that way, and it seems less stable to me. If I need the gun high (like to see over grass coyote hunting) I go to a tripod rather than a long leg bipod,

Accu-Tac kind of sucks on a heavy recoil gun, because they're hard to load, don't stay put, and will jump on a hard surface even if you are perfectly positioned and do everything right. On low/no recoil rifles though they're damn near perfect IMO.
