F/TR Bipods

Mik, you listening? :lol:

MikMak has his new lightweight Bipod at a sensible price but for me it's not tall enough.

Mik has just made a taller version of his Trakker bi-pod - weighs 24oz.

That could be interesting, I look forward to having a look at one and his new stock if it's ready

Hi Dave,

My gut feeling is that 750g is the ideal bipod weight as it allows you to have a heavy barrel etc, one thing to consider is the footprint - try and get somewhere near to the Big Foot as a wide base is stable and minimises the effect of torque as well. How many of you have shot off bipods to find that after recoil your rifle is pointing one target to the left?

Cheers & good luck

PS whats the new toy you have bought?

The new toy is a little Myford ML7. Still a model lathe but a tad more capacity than my Unimat. I have to say that Bigfoot of yours Christel is using is a revelation. The ease of set up/use plus stability was a real eye opener. The new one has bigger feet and some weight saving. The coarse/fine adjustment is simple. I just need to get it finished now

Christel - just re-read your post, do you mean the feet themselves? I know what you mean, I like the feet/skis off Mik's bipod and the frame of the big foot.

Yes, that is exactly what I mean :)

Bullets fly, amazingly so, you really can.

I have told Ovenpaa exactly what I want re adjustment and I am sure he can do it.
