Snipersystems bipods

[chris k 205]

As the title says. Has anyone owned 1? Been looking at the mk5 model. Seen plenty of reviews BUT they all seem to say there mates had one (which in short doesnt mean jack all)

 

If no one has owned one could anyone recomend a decent bipod for a daystate mk3?

Hi Mate

I originally bought one of these aboput a year ago, and fixed it to the rifle. After 3 months, one of the pins which lock into the QD stud came off, like the welding failed. I took it back and they exchanged it. Last week I took the new one off the rifle, and the feckin same pin snapped off in the same position. My advice is stick with Harris until they've ironed out the problem.

hhmmm read the same sort of reports BUT this is the first time ive heard it from first hand

 

Only problem with harris is they charge an f.ing fortune. So its trying to find a decent bipod but with out dropping the price of another rifle

Harris bipods are dear chris mate, but you'll only ever buy the one of them mate, surely thats more economic in the long run?

 

Cheers, wurz

hhmmm tempting with the harris but im a bit of a tight arse and definatly cant afford one

 

might after search out a deben bigmac mate. if you say there ace its good enuf for me. already have some deben strap clips and you can tell by looking at them there built to last.

 

just out of intrest is it better to get a tilt bipod for hunting?

iv never had a tilt dipod bud but my mate vislauk has one on his s410 and said it can be a bit of a pain at times good for some shooting and not for others when i use a bipod bud i like my gun locked down so the only thing that moves is the trigger when i squease it hope this helps you mate others may question my anser but like iv said iv never had one atvbmac

[chris k 205]

see your point bigmac on lack of movement but cant you stiffen the mounts so they arnt as loose?

I bought one from optics warehouse. It was 51quid p&p and mine ain't failed yet. Seems well built etc. I too was looking at the Harris bipods but cringed at the price. Atb

[chris k 205]

been looking over egay and there still dear as feck. problem is is after harris and deben i dont recognise most of these brands. so it comes down to seperateing the crap from the good brands which aint easy at all

[robwelsh 354]

Have u looked on optics warehouse

Deben tilting is my choice.

 

Excellent for shooting over un even ground while still getting level cross hairs for perfect hold over.

 

Built to last too.

I have had massive problems with a Deben bipod, pins failed, springs coming off when the legs were lowered, the pads moving, said sod it and bought a Harris, remember the Harris bipods have a LIFETIME warranty not 12 months, so when your Deben is a pathetic pile of rusty pieces, the Harris will still be going strong!

[robwelsh 354]

Depends if you let it get in rusty pieces. You wouldn't not wipe a blued barrel over if it got wet, same as all my equipment.
