New F-Class Bipod

[Obtunded]

As many of you have seen, there is an excellent F-Class bipod produced in Canada by Henry Rempel. I own one myself and i love it. The achilles heel has been the weight of these bipods, which approached 4 pounds.

John Weil of Team Savage USA has developed an offshoot of this bipod design and they have just opened-up shop. for those that are interested, the website is censhot.com This new bipod weigs less than a pound and a half.

I understand the price to be $450 US and this mounts to an Anschutz rail.

Hmmmm, seems to resemble something very familiar...

 

[sillymike]

Nice...

(once I get over the sticker shock)

 

[Max Owner]

Good thing none of my guns have the rail.

Just a sling eyelet.

x2 when are they going to make one for a sling eyelet.

How hard or easy is it to add an Anschutz rail to a stock?

Not disputing the merits of the lesser weight.
Just very satisfied with Henry's version....

 

[mpwolf]

Henry's version is absolutly fantastic if you have the weight allowance. I see John's pod as the perfect answer to F/Tr shooters out there who need to stay under 18.2 lbs. really can't wait to get mine...

 

[Obtunded]

Make no mistake, I own one of henry's and I could not be happier. This is without question a rip-off of that design and to that end i am morally torn about promoting it, but the weight was always an issue and henry did not produce a model to cater to the FTR crowd, so I guess a niche exists.

Matt is bang-on in that it will allow FTR guys a better option. JW is, after all and FTR shooter

I think there are a couple of super light cf bipods now, need to do a little research.

 

[mpwolf]

I was pretty torn about the percieved rip-off, but I'm under the impression that Henry is ok w/ John's reincarnation.

Harry lives in Calgary, you can find a contact number if you search for " Remple ski-pod" on the net.

I use a rest for F/O but the ski pod for Precision.

Henry's:

If you lay down on a crooked mound, could you imagine how much fu**ing around you would have to do with that Sinclair to get everything level?

And it's just plain ugly.....well I think so anyway.

 

[mpwolf]

I've been shooting the Sinclair versions for the last couple of seasons. The second generation (like the one Richard has posted) works, but is nowhere close to a Remple!

 

[Marksmen]

Im working on one myself. Hopefully come in at the 100-150 range

 

[joshledoux]

any kind of a preliminary drawing we can see?
