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...

Jerry
 
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.

Hey Jerry what lengths do the t-slot rails come in? Are the m-lok compatible
 
Jerry has retired AFAIK - last time he was here was July.

That said

2 sizes
Long 4.595"
Short 3.596"

Check EGW website. You can use them on an M-lok handguard.
X-Reload carries them, but out of stock ATM
 
Awesome product in my opinion. I use mine with the Arca rail and use it frequently. Shot my best groups using it. The recoil path is better than using a bipod in my use which greatly aids in small groups. Highly recommend

then you have never used a REMPLE bipod
remple produces better groups

I love my Mpod, but seeing that the Remple has fine tuning adjustment, would make it better.

Spend a bit of time lightly loosening the thumb screws to get the right height to get the most adjustment from rear bag.

I can’t comment on products I haven’t used. I was only conveying my experiences with the MPod. It’s a great product for the money. Just like front rests for bench shooting there’s Caldwell for $100 and certain others like Seb that are $2000. Let’s compare apples to apples.

I saw a high frame rate video posted recently that showed the barrel recoiling back before the bullet came out. Knowing this fact is what can help you to understand Jefferson’s point along with all the others out there about shooting.

For the best accuracy, you need a smooth, repeatable path for the gun to move during recoil.

If the gun is hopping to one side under recoil, that sideways movement will alter the path of the bullet. That sideways movement may be hard to keep consistent. Keep an eye out for this and try to get directly behind the gun so it recoils straight back.

Also, use consistent butt pad pressure on your body from shot to shot.

I saw another video about a fella who experimented with different rear bag methods and found that how he pinched the rear bag to align the sights, would affect his groups.

Similar reason as above: applying uneven pressure to various sides of the rear bag can result in a varying recoil path.

Seeing these videos makes me understand the reasons why benchrest guys use the setups they do.

The MPOD has been used by a number of top shooters from around the world in past years. It even has an individual FTR World Championship win (2013, US shooter)... .and a bunch of other podiums at the provincial and state level. Even in some games I wouldn't even think of using it.

Used to set a couple of F class NRA records too

A few were in use in Ko2M until the rules changed. Some of the MPOD design geometries have been built into other bipods with good effect.

It continues to be one of the lightest FTR suitable bipods on the market (approx 13ozs)... and for some, that lightness offers alot of opportunities in setting up the rifle.

the Remple is the grand daddy of the adjustable FTR bipods. Many versions have drawn inspiration from the layout and design and gone on to also podium all around the world. The Remple is a very solid, albeit heavy bipod but if you can make weight, it works no doubt.

Its all a compromise but the MPOD and Remple are both Canadian designs that have done well on the world stage
