Looking for anyone who has installed a M-Pod. I cannot seem to find any info on what kind of adapters are available. Looks like it is designed for a slot. are there any other adapters? I have a few rifles that come with the twin sling swivels wondering what would work.
 
I semi-permanently mounted a short rail on the bottom of the fore-end of my stock (HS Precision stock on a Savage Model 12 LRP) using the swivel stud hole + one more hole I had to drill out. There are other less-permanent options, however.

From the Mystic Precision website: "A range of mounting options are possible to fit pretty much any stock."

Contact Jerry & he'll sort you out!
 
Contact Jerry at Mystic. He can sell you an inexpensive small mounting rail that you can install to your forend.

MPODs are back instock in both 2.5 and 3" versions. A variety of mounting options possible so please pm or email to discuss or to order

For dual stud stocks, tell me the center to center distance of the studs. Take them out of the stock and there is likely a threaded insert in the forend - use a #10 counter sunk bolt with the same thread patter (likely 32 pitch).

If it is just a through hole with nut/washer on the inside, then any #10 counter sunk bolt with matching nut and washer.

I can offer a T slot rail that will bolt through the inserts or holes and voila... all done

Simple and strong. requires no permanent mods to your stock.

Thanks for all the referals guys...

Yes, option is possible. It will always be best to run the T slot rail directly onto the stock but if the forend has an integral pic rail, there is a solution.

Dont use a bolt on pic rail AND the adaptor... works better with the Tslot alone.

Just want to say: I think the Mpod is really well built and makes for such a stable Platform. I personally do not get better results with a pedestal rest even in a Bench rest situation. But then again, I am no expert, just a casual shooter, but one that is serious about precision.

I am so glad to hear about your continued success with the MPOD. All F TR centric bipods have to allow the shooter to shoot that 1/2 MOA X/V ring at 1000yds/900m on demand. All take different approaches to reach this goal... some do it better then others.

There are MPOD users who compete in rimfire BR... they report superb performance. Personally, I have shot many groups in the 1/4 min range at short to mid range as have other competitors. Current winter testing with heavy bullet 308 loads, put some test loads in the 1's and 2's at 100yds... I can't wait to try these loads at 1000yds.

The MPOD approach is stability, tracking and repeatability all at a super light weight package. many question how a 12.5oz bipod can be more/as structurally rigid as a 2.5lbs bipod - but it is

The design and geometry just let the rifle do its thing without alot of fuss and bother.

The new cant adjustable feature on all current manf MPODs let the user have a simplicity in set up but with a difference.. a very important difference.

In pretty much every bipod with a cant adjustment, the rifle will tilt during recoil due to the torque of the bullet. Not really a big deal when only 1 or 2 shots are fired but a royal pain on a long 17 to 22rds string as is common with F TR.

Too much time is spent fiddling and adjusting trying to keep the rifle level... then the worry about inconsistent follow through. If the rifle can tilt during recoil, is it tilting consistently? If I am resetting my level every few shots, is the set up really the same as the last time I fiddled with the bipod?

Then there are wear parts which require more and more force to keep tight... but really never do.

It took us a long time to figure out a cant adjustable system that doesn't change during recoil... and doesn't change the overall weight nor design much. I am very proud with how simple the solution has ended being.. designing simple is surprisingly tough.

The new gen MPODs all carry this feature. Retro fit kits are available of older MPODs... the new design has added a whopping 3/4 oz to the overall design.

As I said, designing simple that works, will last and perform is NOT easy. Correct, I do not expect an end user to wear out the cant adjustable parts within their lifetime!

Enjoy and continued success.

Jerry

PS the MPOD was designed under 338 Lapuas and 50 BMGs... I just took the design and put it under my FTR rifle. The MPOD works superbly under great big heavy boomers.... all in the 13oz package.
