Bi-pod for my mrad/ and other related heavy rifle conversation

[twoshots]

Hey guys,

just looking for some bi-pod recommendations for my 338 lapua mrad. it will be a dedicated bi-pod used for range and back country target. Needs to clamp on 1913 rail. I am more interested in military style quick engagement as opposed to bulls eye on fixed position.


concerns to me

-stability
-weight
-ability to pan
-adjustment interface from prone. (one handed/two hands/noise/etc)

I just looked at atlas on-line and it looks good. I like to keep the center of gravity low though so maybe there are better options?

Thanks in advance.

Most people will say the LRA (Long Range Accuracy) Bi-Pod is the best, it doesn't have a pan option like the Atlas, but it is way more stable.

 

[twoshots]

looks good, any Canadian dealers for them?

 

[arcticcathonda]

PGW I think can get them for you.

Atlas or LRA are both solid options for that gun. The LRA is a bit big for a .338, but not by much.

Both are good pieces of kit.

Call PGW talk to Ross. LRA is a very stable option with limited panning. Very happy with my LRA!

I have the LRA - did a review here: http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/foru...iew-for-precision-shooters-LRA-Tactical-Bipod PGW can get you one and a great to deal with.

OK,

If I go the LRA route is it solid enough for my 50bmg, it does seem a bit overkill to just use on the 338?

I disagree, I use one on my .308 and it works beautifully. Heck, I even throw it on my .22 now when I'm shooting groups. Great bipod.

Gentlemen prefer Atlas

 

[Tomochan]

If the LRA won't hold your BMG nothing will. I maintain my position that the LRA is the best of its' type and, yes, I have tried Atlas which is also very good.

I have a few Atlas and recommend them however I have a rather heavy 338LM that is built up for ELR with a 30" heavy barrel, weighs 23lbs and I much prefer the LRA on it.

Picked it up from PGW and the service couldn't have been any better.

K. Thanks,

I've sent the e-mail. Of the three models I assume we've all been referring to the light tactical? eta: and it comes in two heights as well?

We have the LRA in stock. Light tactical model. All others are a toy in comparison...

I use it on my 50BMG and know others that do too, it's a great unit and Ross is top notch

I sent you an e-mail throgh the website. Is there a faster way to do it. I don't see a number listed

 

[Kevin M.]

It will hold your .50 no problem, LRA are top notch for that applications.

If your .338 is heavy, Ie. over 15-20 pounds, then the atlas may be a bit light.

 

[twoshots]

it's an mrad long tube with a SB pm2 5-25/56, near alpha mount, so I'm guessing it weighs 18.5lbs roughly

LRA is the ONLY option.

I use my LRA allot! Going back to my other bipods Harris, Atlas ect feels unstable. Lol! Even worse is the floppers on the Tac .50, HS-50, TRGs they are useless.

Ross will take care of you! PGW service rocks! Just look at Swissins rebarreled Shiller action frickn laser.
