Hi does anyone have a recommendation or two for a bi-pod that can install on a Ruger Precision Gen3 with M-Lok. This is going to be used for target shooting, not anything too dynamic. Most of what I`m finding doesn`t specifically state that it is for M-lok. Some say they are for mounting to traditional sling swivels.

I`m looking at some of the stuff for sale on theammsource.com and they have a Harris, Caldwell, Blackhawk!, Champion brands among a couple others.

Any help would be great. Thanks.
 
I have a Harris on mine. I generally only shoot off a bench and a little prone so it works perfectly for that. If you shoot off of other things (PRS) you may wan't the Atlas as the legs can be locked into different positions.

Don't buy the Chinese knock off Atlas bipods. I bought one for one of my 22's for the heck of it, and while it looks like an Atlas, that's where the similarities end. It's kind of a piece of ****! It worked okay at first after using a hack with some o-rings. But that didn't last long. It works as a basic bipod as long as you tighten the swivel mechanism so tight that it doesn't move. But even then it comes loose and then flops around. Mine now sits unused in a drawer and I put a cheap Caldwell bipod on the 22.
 
The bipod is the foundation between your rifle and the ground, if you want good results it's best not to skimp out on a bipod.

The Harris is the absolute minimum, it's made of cheap stamped metal and the legs are never square. It's useable, but if you can spend more money there's a lot better solutions out there. I would recommend the Atlas if you can budget for it.

An ARCA/RRS rail is a good choice, and seems to be the standard everyone is moving to. A good option to "future proof" your rifle. If you go that route though, you will have to spend more money to get adapters for your bipod. You also have to be wary about the long thin ARCA rails, if you mount your bipod too far out on those and the end of the rail is unsupported, there's good chance you will experience vertical stringing. The most cost effective solution may be to get an M-LOK picatinny mount to attach the bipod to.
 
Consider the MPOD... it is MLOK compatible.

PM or email to discuss

Very stable and was designed to tackle one of the hardest LR games you can play using a bipod... 1000yds FTR.

Works great for punching itty bitty groups at short range too.

M-LOK picatinny rail section and then mount to that. I love my Atlas CAL BT65-LW17 Gen. 2.

The nice thing about a bipod is it can easily be used on multiple rifles, unlike optics or many other accessories. Spend the money and buy exactly what you want.

Optics can be used on multiple rifles also. You might need to re zero but they can def be changed over. Especially with quick detach mounts. and accessories. lol
 
This looks very similar to the Magpul.

It's all steel/aluminum, has pan&cant features, the legs fold forward and backwards, half the price of an Atlas. Weird, they pulled it out from their website.
 
It's a question of money over matter...

If it's not my money, it doesn't matter.

The standard forum advice is go out and buy the most expensive bipod ever made because... at that price... "it must be the best"

Besides we have a hairy chest and a big ego so we need the best to support that ego.

On the other hand the number one rule of manufacturing is that all energy spent on making something better than it "needs to be" is the worst and most expensive form of waste.

So you can go on ebay and buy a Chinese knock off of an Atlas for about $35 or you can buy a real Atlas for about $400.

Functionally they are almost identical... One is made better than the other, but it's up to each of us to decide if "better" is actually better than it "needs to be" for how each of us plan to use it.


As for QD scope mounts... Just because it's QD doesn't mean you are obligated to put it on and take it off frequently for no good reason. The real value in QD scope mounts is the convenient scope changes.

Suppose you are at a match and your scope stops working correctly, but you had the foresight to bring along another scope as a spare. Well... in about 10 seconds you can swap them out.

Oh ya... the zero might not be right... Well then... mount a red dot on the pic rail (not the scope) and use it to zero the scope after the change.

BTW, a red dot is nice to confirm your zero if you might be a revolution off as well.
