Advanced Marksmanship Fclass or super stable bipod for load development/tracking

[DeathBeforeDismount]

Anyone use a higher end bipod like the Fclass ones for shooting groups or tracking test?

I have a bunch of the usual's, Ckyepods, harris, accutac but they all have enough wobble and play that I can shoot off a bag better than a bipod.

Wondering if grabbing a F-class bipod like the Tier one FTR would be a good idea. I don't want a full blown bench rest rest to lug around, but a bipod wouldn't be terrible, along with a good rear bag.

I've seen Huntnful over on rokslide use a phoenix sled bipod for his load dev. Looks slick, not sure its better than just shooting off bags? Maybe a little more convenient

Thats what I got a Seb NEO for...

Load development and barrel/accuracy testing

Elite iron - nothing better for prone shooting

I wish some of these ftr bipods would come with arca adapter.

Did need to file the sling stud to make it fit in the round hole. Yeah, yeah RRS copy, but RRS doesn't offer the ARMS-17 stud adapter.

Also Tier One does have Arca options:

...... I can shoot off a bag better than a bipod.....

You answered your own question. F-Class bi-pods are a compromise for weight vs stability used in F-TR class. If weight is not a factory in your testing, use sandbags. Especially if you feel more stable when shooting.
good luck
