Which Atlas bipod cleats?

[skyfire1201]

I have an Atlas V-8 bipod with factory rubber feet. They work ok, but in the last shoot when I really needed to push forward on them, the rubber feet just don't dig in as well. So I'm thinking of getting one of these cleats. Problem is, I'm not sure which one works better. Is the more aggressive BT64 spike cleat worth getting over the BT24? Anyone experience in both who can chime in on their effectiveness?

I run these, they fit great, and work well in most conditions you would encounter, dirt, grass, wood, etc...

Ditto. I prefer these over the long spikes.

If you're pushing forward so hard the rifle is sliding away from you, you're pushing too hard. You're just removing slack, you aren't catapulting over a wall.

Maybe I need to pay attention to my gear more as I totally forgot atlas has the ability to swap out feet . It’s only been on my rifle for 4years or so.

I also use the Hawk hill feet. They work great on just about any surface. They don’t sink in as much as the BT spikes that I used to run.

I’ve been using the Hawk Hill bipod feet for a few years on a Harris w/ zero issues. I’m going to pick up an Atlas this week & I’ll be ordering Hawk Hill bipod feet for it as well.

plus one on the Hawk Hill

The Hawk Hill replacement feet work excellent. I wouldn’t bother with any others.

Another vote for Hawk Hill.

the price made me hesitate for awhile since the atlas are so expensive but once i bought my first pair from hawk hill i felt foolish for waiting so long

How do they do on concrete? About half of my shooting is done on concrete

They dig in well on EVERYTHING. The one thing I wouldn't use them on is my truck hood.

Way would you possibly need spikes on concrete? The rubber work just fine on concrete. Also, unless it’s your concrete, why would you want to scratch it up?

I do not like how the Atlas cleats pivot, go with the Hawk Hill ones.

I saw on their website that they work on every surface, including concrete and I was curious if they would actually work in that application. I would think the rubber would be the best for concrete, and the spikes would just slide across. And I wouldn’t want to have to keep changing my feet as I go from surface to surface

i got the bt24 and didn't like them then i went with the hawk hill and they work great

Atlas BT24 and Hawk Hill Talons for the Atlas PSR, as well as a set of the BT23 Snowshoes and the BT22 Leg Extensions.

The Hawk Hill spikes really do dig into concrete. They work about as well as the rubber feet, maybe a little better. They also work great on rooftop type props where you aren't on a level surface. I never had a problem getting the rubber feet to grip either, but after breaking one and seeing other people break theirs at matches I didn't want to deal with that again. The HH feet aren't going to break. I've went back to rubber feet but keep the HH's in my pack as a backup.

Bumping this thread with a question for those of us who live in cold climates: do you prefer the BT23s, 24s, or 64s for shooting on snow and ice, or the Hawk Hills? I'm upgrading to a BT47-LW17 and debating if I should spring for extra feet.
