New Atlas Bipod on the Way, the Updated PSR Model

[Lowlight]

B&T Industries is releasing a new Atlas Bipod

The PSR Atlas (I don't know what Kasey is officially calling it) will be released the 2nd Quarter of 2014. This new bipod is based on feedback B&T received from the current Army Trials involving the PSR Program. The Atlas is one of the finalist and the soldiers had some feedback which Kasey incorporated into the design.

Some of the updates include

1. The legs no longer spin, they are grooved in place and do rotate.

2. The lock up for the Pan & Tilt is tighter, you can see the "brake" it has to help hold it in place.

3. The adjustment knob is a bit different with deeper cuts to increase the leverage.

Been using this for a while now and I really like it a lot. Originally it was not going to be released but I am glad Kasey is making it available to everyone out there.

 

[sct4a]

You know what kinda price its going to be offered at or around?

 

[Lowlight]

I don't ... it shouldn't be too far off the current Atlas.

 

[jkonzal]

Did you add the QD mount?

 

[Midwestside]

Dad-gummit...does this mean the V9 / V10 / 5-H have been pushed back even deeper on the production back-burner?
If anyone hears different at SHOT, please report back

 

[redirt78]

Looks like improvements to an already great design.

 

[redirt78]

The distance from the QD plate to the leg pivots looks shorter too. I could be wrong but it looks like it sits almost as tight to the gun as the two screw model.

 

[Toast]

I really like the fact that the legs don't spin, especially when it has the claw feet.

 

[Kasey]

We are going to offer SH members a small intro price discount through the rest of January (I'll get the numbers up tomorrow). And here is the rest of that story, fulfilling these individual SH member sales will take priority over any contractual obligations, this is the only such commitment we are making regarding individual sales.

These changes were made to the standard Atlas bipods based on feedback from shooters both civilian and professional. There will not be the option to upgrade the BT10 series into the PSR nor will we offer a taller BT10, the taller 7-13" is only available in the PSR configuration as the BT47. We will continue to offer the BT10 series while the PSR series will be noted as;

BT46-NC PSR Atlas Bipod - No Clamp - for BT19, ADM 170-S, ARMS 17S, TRAMP, LT171
BT46-LW17 PSR Atlas Bipod- Lever with ADM 170-S Lever
BT47-NC PSR Tall Atlas Bipod - No Clamp - for BT19, ADM 170-S, ARMS 17S, TRAMP, LT171
BT47-LW17 PSR Tall Atlas Bipod- Lever with ADM 170-S Lever


The 5-H is in the white and will be shown at SHOT I'll try to get a picture up here before then (I just hope you guys don't judge it too harshly on it's appearance as it is the function that matters. Please keep saying that...).

Last all of this and more new products will be available to see at SHOT booth 20135 in the LE section.

 

[JC Steel]

Awesome Kasey, I am excited to own one of these as well!!

And an 5-H

 

[redirt78]

I wouldn't mind a taller one, at 6'3" I almost never run mine all the way in. I've needed it to be slightly taller a few times but didn't really want to add 3" leg extensions. Might be just right at 7-13"

Kasey, any clue when these will be available to us?

Thank you for offering this to the Hide first.

Keep up the good work.

 

[Edsel]

Might request for two or three BT47-LW17 PSRs.

Subscribed!

 

[Boxcar]

Just when I was happy enough!!! You made it better.

 

[Slick17]

Can't wait for more info and pics for the hide members.

JUST ordered my first Atlas from Triad (shipped today). Late to the party again, I guess, haha. Oh well, guess I'll be getting an even NEWER one!

 

[bogeybrown]

Just when I'd decided to hold off on buying my first Atlas, THIS opportunity arises. Will the prices/sale option be listed in this thread? or in the For Sale section?

[JohnC76]

[338RUM runner]

I'm thinking about it. TAG

 

[triceratops3]

Sounds sweet. I got an atlas in your give away so now I guess I'll need to by this one eventually.

 

[Triad]

PSR is nice, I got to see one over the holidays. I think I even saw one for sale on Ebay already

I guess I had better start making room on the B&T shelf here at Triad......

 

[squishee]

Was about to hit the payment on a bt-10 lw17. Ill wait for further info on this one as im not in a hurry. Thanks Kasey

[email protected]

Put "SH - PSR" in the subject line.

In the text give us the Model Number, How Many you want of each model and the SH Price stated above.

Include your address and contact information including phone number.

We will confirm your request via email within 2 business days.

Parts are being made, on top of our normal production, so we are looking at second quarter delivery time-frame. Once we have units assembled and ready to ship SH members will be contacted for payment in the same order as received. After three unsuccessful attempts, your information will be put to the back of the stack.

Again, we are making these available to SH members on a limited basis, availability of the PSR might change as the year progresses limiting sales to contractual obligations. Any such contractual obligations will not over-ride the units claimed in this offer by SH members.

"Also, I botched the email deal, but instead of changing it will let it ride as is. HOWEVER, the confirmation will not be within 2 business days until after the 21st. Sorry."

 

[MTAR15]

OK, I'm in. Email sent.

Thanks for doing this Kasey.

 

[Keneida]

E-mail sent as well. Kasey, thanks for hooking up the hide!

 

[dylanmj]

Thanks Kasey for setting this up for the community! Do have a couple of questions for you:

Will the accessories for the BT-10 work in the PSR?

As far as mounting options, there is either no clamp or the QR rail mount being offered? No third clamp option like on the BT-10

 

[chooter]

Kasey: Any color options?

 

[bunsen27]

Thanks for hooking the Hide up once again Kasey and continuing to bring awesome products to market!

 

[HuntnPack]

Well built products. Looking forward to the BT47-LW17model. Email sent.
Thanks to Kasey.

 

[bogeybrown]

So help out an Atlas-virgin: I don't see the specs on the "tall" version on the website. If I've got this right the "regular" size is about 4.75-9" making it similar in size to the Harris 6-9, so I'm guessng the "tall" version would be more on par with say the 9-13" Harris?

Also curious on color options on this one as [MENTION=32797]chooter[/MENTION] asked.

 

[VTSEAL]

Thanks for setting up the early order opportunity for the Hide.

 

[koz]

email sent for a few. Love the anti-rotation feature.

 

[crowdog7]

Tagged & Order Incoming!

 

[SRSDriver]

How does the weight compare to the current atlas?

 

[Maelstrom]

Can we send in a partial payment when we place the order or do we have to wait until contacted to pay?

 

[Regalkismet]

Email sent.... Thanks

You guys are welcome, glad to be able to do it and THANK YOU for the great response!

Let me answer the questions;

“ Will the accessories for the BT-10 work in the PSR?” – YES

“As far as mounting options, there is either no clamp or the QR rail mount being offered? No third clamp option like on the BT-10” – CORRECT

“Any color options?” – NO

“So help out an Atlas-virgin: I don't see the specs on the "tall" version on the website. If I've got this right the "regular" size is about 4.75-9" making it similar in size to the Harris 6-9, so I'm guessng the "tall" version would be more on par with say the 9-13" Harris?” - BT47 Estimated range of elevation is 7 – 13” Tall*

“How does the weight compare to the current atlas?” - The current BT10-NC weighs 11.13 ounces, the Standard PSR-NC (BT46-NC) weighs 11.42 ounces and the TALL PSR-NC (BT47-NC) weighs 12.86 ounces

“Can we send in a partial payment when we place the order or do we have to wait until contacted to pay?” – Sorry but no, did that before and there was no joy.

Also, I botched the email deal, but instead of changing it will let it ride as is. HOWEVER, the confirmation will not be within 2 business days until after the 21st. Sorry.

Again, Thank you!

 

[branson1369]

Will you have sample at Shot

 

[Darkside-Six]

What is the advantage of an Atlas over a Harris? I've never used an Atlas before so I'm just wondering if there is a significant advantage.

 

[Kasey]

Yes we'll have a sample PSR AND 5-H bipods at SHOT.

Please -

Put "SH - PSR" in the subject line.

In the text give us the Model Number, How Many you want of each model and the SH Price stated above.
