Couple guys were asking about this bipod so here’s a couple random pics along with my likes and gripes. This is from a daytime predator calling point of view.
Likes: Real lightweight, but stoutly built. 38.5 inch carbon fiber legs with fast twist lock adjustment. Long enough to handle sitting on steeper hillsides with and be comfortable. Easy to carry in a pack etc. Peg in a hole design with small magnet attachment that lets you pull them out of the receiver and off of the rifle Instantly, one handed, to shoot runners, close in sneakers, awkward angles, etc. Flexible silicone head with steel spring inside that lets you instantly adjust to whatever height / tilt/or position you need…. Way stiffer than say the Swagger QD 42. Unlimited pan ability. Overall a fast and lightweight old school style shooting sticks setup with a modern twist.
Gripes: Hard to leave rifle setting upright if you want to pick up a shotgun real quick, if you hunt like that…if a leg slips in the dirt and moves, the peg in hole design lets it spin and it may fall to the ground. There has to be tension on the legs by spreading them out so bipod will hold up. It will not hold up rifle simply by setting the rifle down like you would on say a Harris or Hatch etc type bipod. It’s irritating.
Also the carbon tubes rattle together a bit when closed up, but not a big deal really. Snapping the aluminum bipod peg into the aluminum receiver hole attached to rifle stock can be noisy, makes a pretty loud click. This can be mitigated by riding the peg into the receiver with your thumb, muffling the noise.
And finally, if you run a sling with regular swivels on your rifle, the front swivel will attach to the aluminum bipod receiver, but when the swivel folds forward when you have the rifle hanging on your shoulder, it hits and rubs on the receiver hole and makes noise, not a lot but it will click and clack. If you are running side flush cups etc then no problem obviously.
Honesty it’s a great little bipod for daytime calling sitting on the ground obviously. Once you spend some time with it it’s pretty darn good, but you will have to work around some small short comings, as with most things.
