Really looking for a high quality bi-pod. Have read reviews on all of these, but never used any of them. Counting on some good info from my fellow hide members to steer me in the right direction. Let me know what you think

Re: Which bi-pod to buy-Atlas, GG&G, Tango Down, or...
My vote would go for Atlas. Seems like Harris and Atlas are the most popular right now. I'm in the process of switching from a Harris to an Atlas because I like the construction better on the Atlas. It seems beefier and more durable to me, but I'm not exactly a machinist.
There are numerous threads on this forum about both bi-pods. You'd just have to look around a bit.

That's where in leaning. Handled it once. Very basic, and light. Almost seemed cheap, but you could tell it was quality construction

Assuming that you are going to be using it for precision rifle work, my suggestion is the Atlas. However I have not used a GG&G yet.

The Atlas offers an incredible amount of options when setting up a firing position.

Re: Which bi-pod to buy-Atlas, GG&G, Tango Down, or...
Exactly. I started with a Harris, but once I broke it (my fault, not the bi-pod's) I thought it was a good excuse to try something new. So now I'm saving for an Atlas.

Have a few Harris bipods. They are heavy, and not always as ridged as I'd like. Plus, let's face it, they are the best looking. While the atlas is so basic, I think that's why I like it. The tango down is just beautiful, but possibly heavy

Exactly why I'm leaning atlas. With the mount it's a lot though. That's why I'm asking around before spending that much.

Re: Which bi-pod to buy-Atlas, GG&G, Tango Down, or...
I'm switching from harris bipods to atlas.
I may retain one of two that I owned (already sold one) that had a Larue mount built into it for my AR since it's a bit faster to deploy, but I'll be ordering two more Atlas V8's in the near future.

If you buy the Atlas, and then decide you don't like it, you'll have no problem selling it. They seem to hold their resell value much more than Harris bipods. Buy once, cry once, I say.

Buy once, cry once. I love it! Didn't think it'd be so unanimous. Seems like everyone is siding with atlas. Wait.....do y'all work for atlas?

LR-Accuracy. The Atlas is a nice bipod, it works well for a light, tactical bipod but for a truly stable, rock solid bipod there's nothing like the LRA's.
I'd put an Atlas more on a Mk12 upper than a bolt rifle. Done it on both, there's really no comparison for long range work.

What are we talking long range. furthest im going out now is 600. But it sounds like im good either way with the Atlas. Unless someone makes a strong case for anything else, im going to nut up and grab the atlas

Re: Which bi-pod to buy-Atlas, GG&G, Tango Down, or...
I have an atlas and a GG&G bipod on my rifles and they both are pretty good. The GG&G is easier to mess with and feels more durable than the atlas but they are both excellent bipods. You will not be dissapointed in either. For preference, i would go with the GG&G

Re: Which bi-pod to buy-Atlas, GG&G, Tango Down, or...
Well it is really hard to tell because i have the GG&G bipod on my AR and i really cant feel a weight difference.
I have the atlas on my Remington 700 with the spigot and it feels slightly heavier but i think it is because of the spigot the atlas attaches to.
The GG&G is more rigid and feels real sturdy, as for the atlas, there is a lot more slack in it and it feels more flexible. Thats my only issue with the atlas when using it on a heavy rifle or making precise shots.
I actually bought a food scale a while back to weigh all my parts when i was building my lightweight AR so i will measure the difference between them.

I use Harris but Atlas are very nice. If they were around when I bought my Harris I would have gotten one. Either of these two would be a great choice.

I HAVE to add my 2 cents to this one cause I just got my hands on an Atlas V8 finally this week.. and honestly.. kind of a let down.. I know, I will catch the wrath of the hide, but I agree with the above post, My GG&G feels lighter, and has less play, and is easier to manuever.. and O yea.. its available asap and cost 100$ less.. AND they just came out with the XDS2 that pans, cants, and has a lockable 45 degree position like the atlas...

+ 1 on Atlas. Sorry, I'm 6.5 hours from Houston, so one of the other guys will have to demo their bipod. There is going to be a vendor day at Rifles only in early April. Do a hide search, I think she posted about it yesterday.

Just made an offer on a GG&G. Seems like a solid price, and knowing me, ill probably end up with both anyway. Definitley going to get with Killerwaffles to check em both out though

I don't consider "long range" to be inside of 500-600yd, but at 1000, 1200, 1400 and further the LR is second to absolutely nothing.
The Atlas is not a bad product by any means, but as the design feature comparison & price point comparison suggest; it is not the same level of product as the $450+ LRA. Nicely finished, well machined, but the design is a smaller stance with lower stiffness and I find is a lot less stable than the LRA's that I have. Recall the difference between and Atlas and a Harris-type; that's the kind of difference that I'm talking about from the LRA down to the Atlas.
I still own an Atlas, it resides on my Mk12-ish rifle that I use for plinking out to 600yd. If I decide to stretch the legs further than that I put on an LRA and the rifle hits well until about 1100-1200yd. It gets pretty tough out at those distances with a 223.

Re: Which bi-pod to buy-Atlas, GG&G, Tango Down, or...
SCAR123, first, thank you for considering the Atlas in your search. You already own the standard of all bipods, the Harris, which is a great bipod. However there was a expressed need for a bipod that did more than the Harris did. And with the SH name starting with SCAR you should appreciate it was the guidelines established by that program that we followed in designing the Atlas. I'll also suggest the Atlas is not a competition bipod, but rather for use where other bipods fail to accommodate the shooters needs.
The details about the Atlas are found on our website, the BT10 weighs under 11 ounces which is the lightest of any full featured bipods as well as most with considerably fewer features.
Also as another SH member mentioned, there are bipod makers (3 I think now) that are now including the 45 degree leg position "just like the Atlas" which speaks to the novelty of this concept introduced by the Atlas. The 5H will have other novel features that will Rock the bipod world as well.
Regarding the cost, we actually introduced the Atlas (not the SH intro) at a reduced rate just to get them on them market. We did not build to a
price point, just used the best materials for the job and added a modest profit. Since introducing the Atlas we have been blessed with a volume of sales we chose not to adjust the price EVEN though our costs have gone up. It is proudly manufactured and assembled in America.
So SCAR123, I trust you are putting this bipod on your SCAR and I also trust your range time will be mostly on square ranges. If my conclusions are on
track, I'd see how the tango down bipod fit when folded away, if nice and tight to the stock, I'd buy that.
Again, thank you for your considerations.
And a big Thank you you our supporters, we would not be where we are today without your support and for that I will always be grateful.

And with the SH name starting with SCAR you should appreciate it was the guidelines established by that program that we followed in designing the Atlas. I'll also suggest the Atlas is not a competition bipod, but rather for use where other bipods fail to accommodate the shooters needs.
The details about the Atlas are found on our website, the BT10 weighs under 11 ounces which is the lightest of any full featured bipods as well as most with considerably fewer features.
Also as another SH member mentioned, there are bipod makers (3 I think now) that are now including the 45 degree leg position "just like the Atlas" which speaks to the novelty of this concept introduced by the Atlas. The 5H will have other novel features that will Rock the bipod world as well.
Regarding the cost, we actually introduced the Atlas (not the SH intro) at a reduced rate just to get them on them market. We did not build to a
price point, just used the best materials for the job and added a modest profit. Since introducing the Atlas we have been blessed with a volume of sales we chose not to adjust the price EVEN though our costs have gone up. It is proudly manufactured and assembled in America.
So SCAR123, I trust you are putting this bipod on your SCAR and I also trust your range time will be mostly on square ranges. If my conclusions are on
track, I'd see how the tango down bipod fit when folded away, if nice and tight to the stock, I'd buy that.
Again, thank you for your considerations.
And a big Thank you you our supporters, we would not be where we are today without your support and for that I will always be grateful. </div></div>
So how do I purchase one directly from you? Price? You cam pm me with th answers. Thanks!!!
Re: Which bi-pod to buy-Atlas, GG&G, Tango Down, or...
I have had Harris, Atlas, and Mike Rock Sopmod bipods. To me Atlas is hands down best of the three. Kasey (two posts above mine) was also kind enough to send me a professional response to a ridiculously stupid question about the Atlas. First class stuff all the way and Kasey is good people. Just bought another one.

Sinclair has some new ones out also----have not tried yet but do own more than 1 of all the above mentioned----each has certain attributes
I thoroughly enjoy trying all the quality bipods avail----personally cannot afford an Atlas on every rifle

okay so i bought a GG7G, and now im looking for a good deal on an Atlas. Thought ill get one of each to test, sell the one i dont like as luch, and buy another one of the one i like best. From the comments on here though, Atlas sounds like it gonna be the winner, but trying to go in as objective as possible

I have a Tango Down on my Sage EBR M1A. Its decent enough. Mine is a bit older now (maybe 2 years, so don't know if they have changed them at all). However, the con's about my Tango Down are:
1. Adjustment of legs is pretty limited in verticle movement. You get 3 clicks. It uses a push button, which you depress and then pull or push the leg to adjust. It clicks fairly loudly if your not holding onto the button when it engadges the hole.
2. The legs only move 90 degrees. Ie, you can't move the legs further forward then perpendicular to the rifle.
3. The feet are hard plastic and as far as I know can't be changed for anything else.
4. While it cants, it doesn't have much foward to back flex, so you can't really lean into it much. Not sure if folks will count this as a negative or not.
I used to have a harris, and I like this better than the harris, but have shot (but don't own) an Atlas. I think I would like owning the Atlas more. But I am tempted to check out the LR-Precision (think thats the name) or the GG&G.
If your interested in buying my Tango Down, let me know, I may consider selling it and buying one of the others instead.
