Magpul Bi-pod’s ...Good, bad or other??

[delinquent pleb]

Hi everyone, was looking at Magpul bipods and was curious to know if anyone had experience with them in a PRS comp setting? Was thinking about grabbing one as a cheaper alternative to an atlas bipod.

Are they reliable and sturdy or are they rubbish? I would be using on the bottom of a KRG W-3 connected via pic rail and shooting .260 wit a Med-Varmint barrel. Thanks for your input in advance

Thanks

I haven't competed with mine yet but after a full day of shooting in the dirt, I've liked it. Its higher then a harris and while it feels flimsy, it's easy to load and stable. Used it with an RPR in 6.5 during a class out to 1k yards. Compared to an Atlas, not sure, same with long term durability but I like it so far. The ability to pan is great and it can be locked out if needed.

I've been pretty impressed with the Magpul Bipod and it's quite sturdy. That said, not being able to set fore and aft at 45 deg is a disadvantage for PRS use. Get the Atlas (with spike feet) for that.

I like that it’s one of a FEW new bipods that DOES NOT infringe on Atlas patents!!

Don't worry, the gen 2 will have legs that lock at 45 degrees...

It's definitely not an Atlas, but I like it for the money. Don't care about 45 degree lock either way.

I use it with pan/tilt locked out. It's useless on heavier rifles anyways- can't tighten it enough.

Couldn't resist. ?

It’s definitely not as good as my atlas but it is better than Harris in my opinion. I like that it pans and tilts and locks. After using an atlas for so me years I can’t even use a Harris anymore I end up with the rifle falling back towards me because they don’t lock out.

Does anyone know if they make spiked feet for it?

Atlas compatible feet fit.

I don’t think the feet are compatible with others. I feel like it locks up better then my atlas. I do wish it had 45 degree capabilities.

Atlas feet definitely fit the magpul. For the money it's hard to beat. I like it better than my harris by a long shot.

is that the bipod you use to hold up your rifle when you are busy posing on a runway?

It’s not a bipod. It’s a “Rifle Support System”.
