As these are fairly new and maybe not out in the wild, has anybody had theirs hands on one?

Looks cool, for that price I would defiantly try one out.
Bought time some one builds a Bipod that doesn't cost $300 freakin dollars....
For that price I’ll try one.
Impressive for the price.
I'd be willing to pick one up to try!

You get what you pay for. Besides, Harris is a little over $100 and has been forever. Not quite sure what your gripe is about.
The price is right and Magpul usually delivers a decent product. I'll buy one.
Surely some of the better connected guys have fingered one...

I'm kinda surprised frank didn't get one w hen they sent him the Pro 700, I'm interested to see how it holds up.
Maybe he has one and wasnt supposed to talk about it until magpul did their media release?
Cool, but what does this do (besides look like an Atlas and take Atlas accesories) that a Harris hasn’t done for decades?
Website says "Coming summer 2018" but seems strange they don't have a place to sign up for email notifications when it is available.

I hope they have one at their booth in Dallas this weekend.

Too bad they arent quick detach. I spent almost that much on an adaptor for my harris for that very purpose. One bipod and an adaptor is cheaper then three bipods and I dont have to carry any wrenches to swap it either. The atlas feet compatibility is a nice touch.
For that price I'll stick with Harris.
Buy the 17S style and add a QD American Defense 17S mount. Adds more money but it's probably the same cost as what you have into your harris w/adapter.
It seems like people are quick to jump on the “just get a Harris” train. While that might be the case this bipod certainly has some features the Harris lacks that would be nice. I’ll reserve judgment until these things are in the wild.

No your right. It does say alum with plastic overmold. Still a plastic bipod to me. Wonder why they chose non replaceable feet? Cost perhaps?
So if atlas had an overmold on their bipod it would be a plastic bipod? Makes zero sense.
Pretty sure they said it takes all atlas feet.
Yeaa...Pretty sure there’s a few people that didn’t watch the whole video or pay any attention...
Basically... not sure why everyone pisses all over a new product. If its good it will succeed if it sucks it will go the way of the dodo.
I think this looks nothing like an Atlas, weighs less than a Harris and may be stronger and more capable at the same time. Or not. I'm looking forward to finding out, as it seems like a good deal for a lot of good features. Clearly not a copy of any existing design that I'm aware of.
It's going to give Harris some competition in that price range beside cheap Chinese Harris copycat bipods and it's going to put some price pressure on Atlas.
Maybe it will make Oulun Työstökeskus reduce the price on the Mil Sak?
No one is taking away your Harris, they are just giving you another option.
Not saying I don’t like it, I actually think the M-Lock mount looks slick. Might need to watch the video again and compare it against a Harris.
Disclaimer... I’m wanting to buy an Atlas PSR (think thats the one), not a Harris.
Magpul usually makes good stuff, hope it works well for them.

I appreciate the innovation that this company continues to provide with new products. The direct M-Lok mount does look nice. Do we think the profile is going to be similar to an Atlas or bigger? If it’s higher profile I don’t think spending an extra $100 for an Atlas is a bad investment.
My rifle is big enough already.

just looking at the design of it, it looks like it only opens into one position....although i dont see why the legs wouldnt work independently.
Looking at the pivot point, there is a flat at 45° along with 0° and 90°. I don't know enough to say it does or doesn't lock at 45°.
I think there is a good chance that if it doesn't lock at 45° initially, in a revision or two, it probably will.

I'm in.
I see this as a Harris killer, not an Atlas killer. For $100 bucks, you basically get the equivalent of a Harris with a PodLok and a Badger direct M-Lok attachment in a lighter and less expensive package without the pinched fingers. Atlas still has the advantage of multiple position. I'm ordering one as soon as Brownell's makes them available for preorder.
This looks perfect for the AR 308 I’m building. I’ll be keeping an eye on these.

Looks like it.
