Hazard, Ky
Id like to start a wishlist thread, and hopefully some manufacturers or creative people will take notice. We all have something that we would like to have, but quickly realize that its not even produced yet. . Have an interesting idea? Post it up as well.

I'll start with a minor item.

I'd like to see a low profile snap on cover for the Hawk Hill Talon Bipod feet. Something with a rubber foot. Using chair leg covers, is big and looks ridiculous.

Another vote for an AI 223 conversion. I'd love to he able to throw a 223 AI barrel on my AI AT to practice with and save my match barrel. I am not aware of the previous discussion of why it's not possible, but if the M24 worked as a LA 308, seems doable.

More seriously, though, maybe some reinforced polymer bipod claws (think magpul or something). More alternatives that don’t cost $80 a pop cuz they are ultra-CNC’d-stainless-to-mostly-just-stick-in-dirt-and-wood. I understand the buy once cry once mentality, but it would be nice to have some cheaper alternative ploy claws.

That's why I run the PASS adapters on my Harris with the Atlas version Hawk Hill feet - pop the talons out, plug in rubber feet. Or spikes. Or leg extensions.

I do the same, but the pass adapter also adds more length to the bipod. minor issue, nonetheless

I’d like Nightforce or someone to make a tier 1 quality 2.5-10x32mm optic, FFP, Mil based reticle like the Mil-Quad/Mil-C/etc., 30mm tube, zero stop, 10 mil turetts, parralax from 25y - Infinity, sub 20oz.

Oh and same features, but in a 10x50mm fixed, 34mm maintube, sub 25oz.

And AI to sell actions only. That with a .223 bolt face would be great. MCS/MCM jump in and do an inlet for them.

You may want to keep an ear open for AI's announcements this year...not exactly what you're asking for, but close.

I'm a couple days out from releasing those talon cover feet actually. Building up some stock now. There is an issue with my site at the moment I'm working on resolving. Hopefully be fixed today.

I don't think it'll be an "announcement" in the vein of the response I posted to PBWalsh. More like an "announcement" of a new offering that (if you read between the lines) is a path to what he is asking about (not .223 though).

Edit: There was an inadvertant post about this on the Hide, but it was pulled due to sensitivities from AI. I won't say more about it, since it is in AI's best interest to announce it AFTER other milestones have been met.

Dang, must’ve missed the thread! AI and ARC are the two primary companies I wanna know about.
 
RRS makes nice arca bipod clamp with lever for Atlas, which I ordered last night. They should offer same direct mount option for Harris. The option now requires using all the Harris junk up top and I would prefer direct mount to Harris near center. You can buy RRS clamp with lever and add Sawtooth Rifles Harris adapter, to achieve this, but that part is sold out. For a reason...
 
Great, main use for me would be car hoods, barrels, and kitchen table, lol. Look forward to ordering a set.

Same for me haha. The talons are awesome but destroy everything they touch. They seem like they are staying on pretty solid so shooting off a bench or shooting mat would be good too. The only downside I've seen so far is that the Harris versions like to spin if you really load the bipod. working on something for this but not much I can do I don't think because its the notched legs themselves that spin.
