I just got a new AICS 2 system for my Remmy 700 SPS and love the stock. I am looking to add some goodies to it (knurled cheek weld screws, mono pod, bi-pod, etc) and have been looking at some bi-pods for the system. AICS bi-pods are nice, and I like the way they mount forward of the stock, but $350 is a little steep. I have seen some bi-pods made for the AICS by Accushot (Atlas) and Versa-Pod but was wondering how good they are. Does anyone have any advice on a good bi-pod that uses the AICS bi-pod spigot?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Atlas with the AI spigot mount. Mile High Shooting Accessories has them in stock and gives a 5% Sniper's Hide discount. I switched from a Harris to an Atlas, I will never look back. It is on a whole other level!

Atlas gets a lot of love here. Would definitely go that route vs the AI bipod.

I know your looking to use the spigot, but the good ol' Harris swivel with notches has always worked beautifully with my AICS rigs for a lot less $.

So what do you guys think about the Atlas Bi-Pods?


Just kidding. I will definitely check them out. I have a couple of Harris Bi-Pods on some other setups, but will definitely look at the Atlas. Thanks guys!

OK, got my Atlas B-Pod AND Quick release Mono-Pod ordered! I keep finding cool "extras" for my AICS and am going broke quickly. I also ordered a set of Viper Skins.
Thanks again to everyone for the advice.

I ordered my bipod from Mile High and if I remember correctly I made a note on the internet order and they did give me the discount. I could not find a monopod in stock anywhere that offered the hide discount. I ended up ordering a quick release model from a site called ArmsUnlimited.com.
Hope this helps.

I got my Atlas bidod today and I must say that I am impressed. I have two Harris bipods and like them, but you guys were right, the Atlas is awesome. I really like the quick adjustments that you can make on it, and it is really solid construction. It is definitely built to last. The mono-pod is VERY cool too. It has the "Quick Knob" that allows you to adjust the height with the push of a button rather than having to thread the leg up/down to adjust the height. They were a little pricey (about twice what the Harris setup goes for) but it was a good purchase.
Thanks for all of the good advice guys!

Well, they are made to fit the AI chassis system, but I purchased the Viperskins. I also purchased the V2 Precision Rear Skins that look like they come with an existing hole for the monopod.

I just wanted to follow up on this post. I have purchased the leg extensions for the bipod because I like the idea of having the flexibility in height (especially used in conjunction with the mono-pod). I am still really impressed with the Atlas system. You can purchase SO many optional accessories for it. I have to give kudos to the people at Mile High too. They were awesome to deal with, the price was reasonable, items shipped fast and after I placed two seperate orders they combined them for me to save me on shipping. That is GREAT customer service. I will definitely be a repeat customer.
Just thought I would pass this on.
