GG&G bipod - Heavy Duty 1219

[JoeP's old business account]

Nice rest!

Steve, does that unit you have, have a model number?

Now heres a bipod that beats any I've seen... and fully adjustable!

Nice rest for off the bench or for F-class, but I don't think it would be that great for practical/Sniper/Tactical shooting.

HR's pod (wish I had one) is the best IMO, but I have only used a Harris and HR's pod, seen above. Hr's pod is probably the most $$$, hardest to make, most hrs to build, strongest, and the heaviest of the bigger ones similar like this that Sinclair and Rebin make using thin angular metal vs aluminum and steel as HR does. Nothing close to HR's quality and workmanship.

Refer to pics above for this....To adjust legs, you loosen the two leg locks (outer blk 3 wing knobs), turn the leg speed screw (metal spoked wheel on bottom) and this makes both legs change angles equally (up/down), and re-lock the outer leg locks. The center lock (long blk one on same side as leg locks)is for cant. Front center lock (metal one) locks the pod to the bottom rail in the stock. The sleds on the legs and it's weight make the rifle recoil straight back at you while shooting free recoil style for those long shots. You can't do that with many pods! Very well thought out, designed and redesigned. Only a few exist, maybe a dozen.

Skullboy, I have never shoot practical/Sniper/Tactical but once you have the height set for your position you take while shooting prone, depending on your body size, grass height in front of you, etc., with any pod, the cant is all have left to adj for most shots is it not?

I use a rest made by HR for bench and prone myself (seen above) at 26+ lbs for the rest and 12+ lbs for the rear bag, there's about 56 lbs worth of equipment in this pic above to haul around and it would be totally wrong for practical/Sniper/Tactical

Does the Versapod or GG&G bipods plug directly into the front of a AICS like the AI/PH bipods do. Such as how Skullboy shows in his photos. (thx skullboy for the pic). Is there just a simple adapter that you need or do they use a Harris type attachment point (i.e. a sling swivel stud).

HR's pod (wish I had one) is the best IMO:

How much is he selling them for? Any idea what grade of AL?

 

[Kodiak99317]

Joe, cost price was $400.00 Cdn and I don't know the grade of AL. HR was not making much for his time on these and I don't think he is going to make anymore, well, for the right price maybe he would.... There is a ton of milling and machining there.

Thanks. Well we all know money talks... What is his contact number I wouldn't mind giving him a ring....maybe he has some other designs in mind...

Joe,

I have no model, mine is the one with the hand stop that mounts to the swivel stud.

Try AI and see if they sell it separatly, it is the same bi-pod.

Steve / Ed.

What range of leg adjustment do they have?

125mm to 210mm?

~5 inches to 8.3"

plus about 2-3" offset for the mechanism??

Regards,

Joe

if you want something like that fancy benchrest one, just order the Sinclair one.

 

[Steve David]

2nd on what Slavex suggested. I have seen the Sinclair one and it is top qualtiy if that is what you are looking for.

pics of the Sako one, I didn't get a close up of the feet, but they have little bitey things on them for digging into grass or dirt.
