And you would be mistaken. They are mil-spec picatinny rails that will work with any attachments/mounts made for them.
I run Atlas bipods on mine (lever mounts for quick on/off) and wouldn't have anything else.

I have the Larue/Harris combo with the built in Larue lever mount and a tightening knob.

Re: pof 308 users preferred bipod?
I've had a Coldwell Bi-pid on my .308 for a while now! I've used harris on my bolt action and I can't tell the difference in performance. Only difference is the coldwell is half the cost.
More money for ammo in my opionion!

Re: pof 308 users preferred bipod?
+1 for the Harris. I use them for both of my POFs. They work very well.

Re: pof 308 users preferred bipod?
I have used just about everything from harris 6-9" up to the Vltor modpods.
The modpod is lighter and hangs on the side rails making for a wider stance but costs a whole lot more than the harris bipods.

I used to think the same thing, until I replaced my GG&G with an Atlas V8.

Re: pof 308 users preferred bipod?
Harris 6-9" swivel and it works just fine. However I do want to try one of those new Atlas V8's.

Re: pof 308 users preferred bipod?
Might want to ask those AZ TPRC competitors what they thought of their Atlas bipods. Atleast in squad 1. LOL Keep an eye in the for sale section if you want to try one.

And you would be mistaken. They are mil-spec picatinny rails that will work with any attachments/mounts made for them.
</div></div>
This is not true. The rails are not spec. They are wider. I have to loosen up larue products a lot to use them on the pofs. POF rails do not have material in the slots, so LaRue type locking levers don't latch on correctly. The ARMs mount on my NVD, also does not fit correctly on the POF rail because it is too wide.
I love POFs, I wish they would fix this issue. I have (2) 16" .223 uppers, a 9" .223 upper and a 20" P308 rifle. They are super accurate, clean shooting rifles, but the rail systems is lacking.

Edit: I use Harris bipods hooked to the swivel stud or a larue bipod mount if I need QD capability.

Re: pof 308 users preferred bipod?
I just got my POF (what a beautiful rifle!).
The bottom rail has a rubber/plastic 'cover' mated to it...so if you just held up a normal adaptor it wouldn't fit. I'm presuming you have to cut away the length you need and remove it to access the picatinny rail...leaving the rest of the length covered for protection from the sharp rail.
I got the Larue/Harris combo...is there a "standard" for mounting, ie: legs pointing forward or back...or is is just personal preference? And do you want it as far forward as possible?
Thanks guys-

Re: pof 308 users preferred bipod?
I use Harris swivel on my bolt action guns. I have not mounted a bipod on my RR LAR 8 yet. I was going to get another Harris, but that Atlas looks pretty cool and sturdy. Does it swivel? I have gotten used to that feature and when I use other bipods, I miss the swivel.

Re: pof 308 users preferred bipod?
Rob01, Thanks we've gotten some useable information and methods from this effort.
Patriot Prepper, Harris is a great bipod and it's always an honor to have the Atlas which Pans (allows muzzle to swing left/right and Cants (Harris calls "Cant" swivel), mentioned along with it.

I received my GG&G Heavy Duty a few days ago and have been playing around with it and it feels VERY solid! I am extremely pleased with the quality and ease of operation this bipod offers. Come next Saturday I will do a range report and video on it.
