stokeshooter 0 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hello i was thinking about buying a bipod for my gun but want to know if you have to screw these to your stock.The reason i ask is that i don't really fancy drilling into my gun.I have a theoben fenman so don't have bottle on the front which you can get bracket for.Any info would be great and i know someone on here will have the answer as you lot always do :thumbs Thanks guys much appreciated SS Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 :11: Yes someone does You can buy them that bolt on like mine, that meant drilling into the stock! You can also get clip on ones that spring open and clam to your barrel. And you can get the QD jobs (but you need to drill in the QD Stud) And the only other sort I can think of is one that bolts onto your barrel. Take a look on eBay and you'll find all kinds, choose the one that you feel would best do the job for you Is your rifle a PCP or Springer? Phantom Quote Link to post

matt_hooks 188 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 The Fenman is a gas ram break barrel. I would advise against using a bipod on a springer/gas ram. Accurate and consistent shooting relies on a consistent rest of the rifle. This is best achieved with your hand between the rest and the rifle. A bipod seems a great idea, but the hardness of the rest will vary depending on the surface it's rested on. If you are wanting to shoot prone, a set of tripod sticks that you can set up and use to hold as a rest is good. Quote Link to post

Hi matt cheers for the advice mate i use a couple of pairs of socks with sand in them at the minute mate and they work great but bit heavy to carry round all day especially with your gun your kills and what not just thinking about it at the moment thats why i thought i would ask the question on here.Like i said before you guys always have the answer.

Phantom 631 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 The sand bags are a great idea for a springer or a rammer If thy are a little heavy call in at a craft shop and get some of the foam or polystyrene balls. Phantom Quote Link to post

Phantom Nice Never thought about that i work in an electronics company so can get plenty of packaging like that maybe even bubble wrap will do the trick much appreciated mate thanks for the help thanks to everyone who replied.This place is so good SS Quote Link to post
will8371 2 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 i used to have a .22 lightning gasram with a deben bipod attached to it. not a good idea because the rifle jumps. you are better off with a soft rest as advised in above posts.however i would advise putting in a pair of studs and using a sling. a sling is versatile in that it also enables you to shoot straight when in a kneeling or standing position. you have to wrap the sling around your left arm-if right handed- in such a way that it provides stability..erm its hard to explain without a bit of video. try youtubing using a sling. buying a barrel mounted bipod for a gasram is a bit like buying a scope made out of a slinky. 1 Quote Link to post

stokeshooter 0 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I've always wanted a Fenman. They great gun mate i just had to have it when someone came to me and said they were selling it.I went to have a look at it just comeback from theoben new gasram new trigger unit all new seals .I said i would give him 180 quid cause that was all i had on me expecting him to laugh at me and he said i will take it so to say i was happy was an understatement and to top it all off it came with a nice simmons scope as well.Some people would say i am a lucky git lol i would just say i am quite persuasive.
