An F/TR bipod for the Viking

She told me what she wanted and I built it.

750 grams, quick adjust via a centre point with left and right hand threads and feet that track the ground. This is Mk1 and Mk2 is being developed, the plan is to come in at well under 700 grams, with longer ski feet. This one will take an estimated 50kgs, I say estimated because I stood on it and put a fair amount of weight on it without any problems.

It was fun making it.

Who would dare to stand on your gun? And, if they did, would it be classed as against the rules being an aid to shooting (stability) ?
