I enjoy shooting mine on the acreage. After the first range session I removed the bipod. It’s too far forward too comfortably shoot off my bench...and it’s gonna end up hacking up the forend or other guns in my safe that it bumps into . Much nicer without the weight too. Point of impact changes a few inches also between shooting off the bipod or on sand bags. Off the bipod slightly flexes the barrel so it shoots a wee bit higher. Don’t have a regular 81 but for plinking you can only benefit from the LMG’s heavier barrel and longer sight radius. For a milarm the trigger isn’t too bad. Totally satisfied with my LMG .
