Rokstedi bipod for daytime calling

Duhhh

Duhhh

Well-known member
Has anyone used a Rokstedi bipod? I haven’t seen a whole lot of info on these bipods from serious predator hunters. Long story short, I bought a Rokstedi P242 and so far it’s pretty sweet. Basically has a swagger bipod level of adjustment but it locks in place and gives a sturdier platform for recoil management.

I get the price tag probably keeps most people away and I don’t blame them if sticks and cheaper bipods do the trick. Sticks and number of bipods have always left me wanting a little more so I got interested in Rokstedi’s design. I love the tripod but it’s a pain to pack around sometimes and not the fastest to deploy.

I’ve been screwing around in the back yard with this new bipod and here’s a video of my initial short time with it. I plan on doing some shooting and recording the recoil management with this thing over the summer. So if anyone’s interested, I can post up some videos.

Oh, I’m in no way associated or sponsored by them or any company for that matter. Just trying to find what equipment works for
me.

Initial impressions of Rokstedi P242
 
I recently purchased one also. The jury is still out in my case. I just started using it regularly. I was using a different brand that is somewhat similar but all the buttons are in different places and I'm not quite used to the Rokstedi yet.
 
I've shot a handful of coyotes in the last week or so with mine. I don't like the twist to lock legs. If I get them tight enough not to slide, they are hard to un twist. Especially the smallest first joint. Its hard to get a hold of for me. Big hands and a lot of broken fingers and injuries over the years I guess.
 
I've ran a couple of the Hatch bipods for several years. I don't know that they are really any better, but I'm used to them so they work better for me. I will say the Hatch leg system is far superior to the twist lock.
 
They look great! Probably lighter than the Swagger model. My issue with this is the fixed legs. I feel they would get hung up on he even ground trying to shift left to right. I can't seem to get away from using my good old shooting sticks.
 
I like the Hatch out of all of them but I just can’t get away from the old shooting sticks with rubber over the top. I’m even revisiting the Harris bipod with mods to make taller. There are a couple of new fat carbon leg bipods coming out that look promising as well… along the lines of the Gunwerks Elevate…but with long legs.
I’ve bought and used a shit ton of bipods over the years and have come to the conclusion that I’m just not wild about any of them for calling for one reason or another.

It sucks there’s got to be trade offs for sure. I’m not as accurate off sticks past 300 yards so they’re out for me. I thought the tripod was going to cure all my problems but I’m not fast enough to deploy it.

If I can hold solid enough to hit my steel targets out to 500 yards on the bipod, I’ll be content until the next bipod comes to market haha.
 
I coyote hunt quite a bit and have tried all the bipods, without a doubt the most useful one for coyotes in all situations I've come across is the evolution bipod, buy the long legs for sitting, shorter for prone, and on extra steep angles you can combine your prone and sitting legs for even longer legs, and the legs are light weight carbon fiber, I had a hard time swallowing the price but after 2 seasons of using them I forgot about that.
 
I’ve been shooting this Rokstedi a bit lately and it’s growing on me. So far I’ve shot the 6 and 22 creed out to 600yards and inside 100 yards. The big thing for me, I can spot all my shots still and it’s got a crazy amount of adjustment from steep hillsides to prone.

Just got done making some stands with my son and we got set up on a steep clay butte. Was able to adjust one leg to the side and cover all my bases. The ball head feature doesn’t get used as much but for this set, the can see how it would be beneficial for on the fly shots. The rain screwed us so we called it a morning after two sets. Before we left, I was nailing a small rock at 546 yards in the wind and rain. No need for a rear support and was shooting with the legs extended like the second picture here.

Before this bipod, my preferred day time support was the tripod but this things legit. Plus, it’s a full American made product and the owners an actual predator hunter.

Yep Craig’s a legit dude and they build a good product. I do think they have the longest legs out there at 42,( correction ..72 ) besides the Swagger. Anyone building a bipod for actual predator callers needs to build them with long ass leg extensions… that’s the main downfall of any bipod used for callers that sit on their ass in the daytime.
Edit: The Springbok bipod comes in at like 38.5 and is one of my favorites right now.

Yeah I got this because it seemed to be most comparable to the swaggers hunter 42’s adjustability on the fly. The main thing I didn’t like about the swagger was the inability to truly lock the legs into one position and its lousy to shoot proned out. The Rokstedi solves that, at a hefty price tag but that’s a price I’m willing to pay.
