Anybody know of Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals on “budget” bipods?
I’m looking for something nicer than a Harris but can’t spring for an Atlas at full price either. I’ve been looking at the Magpul which seems to fit the budget.
I’d really like a picatinny QD regardless of bipod choice.
Thanks!
@mckeand13 I’ve been diving deep on bipod research for my first PRS build. Here is what I can report from being in a similar position.
Realistically you have 3 options based on your criteria: Harris with a few upgrades, Magpul, or entry model Atlas.
-Magpul has a version of their bipod that is essentially stripped and ready for an ARMs mount.
See here It should run $85+ if you can find it on sale. A QD mount like the
ADM-170S will run you another $50-60 ($55 @ PA currently) so let’s call that $140 OTD.
-
Harris has their SBRM which is the most popular swivel, notched leg model. Cheapest I’ve seen them is $89 on websites like Dack, Primary Arms, Arms Unlimited, etc. Type in S-BRM on gun.deals and see what you find. But Harris take a swivel mount so you’ll need to add likely another $55 for a custom
Harris QD attachment like ADM, Area 419, Wiser, RRS. If you want a podloc to adjust swivel tension quickly, that’s another $9 minimum (
Riflegear)So we’re looking at $150-170.
-That leaves us with Atlas. I know you said it’s out of your budget, but when you compare the bipods above with what you’re looking for, there really isn’t too much of a price difference. You can get the
Atlas BT-10 V8 for $164 since B&T is doing 25% off blems. You’d get the same
ADM 170S QD attachment as you would for magpul and you’re only going to be $210 out the door. You could also do the BT-10 with the standard non-QD pic attachment if you can live without QD.
Hope that all helps!
