What is the second best bipod?

[AlphaThree]

I currently have a Atlas on a 419 Arca mount and it’s a fine bipod but after shooting a borrowed gun with the CKYEpod it feels a bit...inadequate.
I know there’s a new CKYEpod coming out that we are all patiently awaiting but if I wanted to pick up another bipod now, what is out there that is similar to the CKYEpod?

it looks like Warne and AccuTac might be more robust than the Atlas. How do the compare to the CKYEpod?

Just get a Harris and have the best. DUH.....

Not Appreciated.

OP, you should post what type of rifle(s) you want to use it on. Some of the suggestions will depend on how much rifle it has to support.

^This. If you want stable, Elite Iron.

The Atlas CAL/Super CAL is another option that is different than your PSR.

They are sweet just got two of those

 

[JC0352]

I’ve not tried one of the legacy Atlas with the tension knob for panning but I would imagine the CAL feels very different.

None, Harris is the only one that is worth anything. Ask @lowlight.

oh fuck... You like to poke bears?

Just buy a TBAC and be done with it.

 

[JC0352]

Mind your business and go make me a sammich. More like a pygmy goat, FYI.

Thank you for the contribution to the OP’s fund of knowledge, as well as this enlightening and thought provoking conversation. I’mma leave now and seek out stamped, out-of-square bipods to put on all my rifles.

I don’t understand how elite iron is even practical.... sure it might be steady.... sure you might get 360 degrees of cant, which idk why you would need.... but in the end you still have a bipod that is slow, way overpriced and still has ergonomics worse than beating off with a boxing glove...

Just buy an F class bipod and be done

that looks like it might be the one

 

[Midpack]

Tbac or atlas super cal depending on what you want. Fwiw if i wasn't running my ckyepod I'd be running the tbac

 

[BikePilot]

I have a tbac and like it. I’ve also used the atlas cal and it worked well.

I use a 9-13" one from tiptop that is pan and tilt all in one, ~$60 if I recall right, its held up perfectly fine for a few years for me. I have dual sling studs on most of my rifles so the bipod mount is independent of the stud I use for the sling.

The OP is asking about $300-$500 bipods...

 

[MDT_Josh]

... You could always just wait a little longer for the CKYE-Pod Gen2

China thanks you for your service.

I've used the door to my Toyota Highlander to kill 5 hogs this year. Pretty expensive bipod but it has A/C, radio, and is a mom mobile all in one.

well I’m going to get that too

The tier one is pretty good. I have the tactical one for an AR-15 and it's great. I've been looking at the Evolution, but I'm debating on the TBAC, which would be for my .308. The Tier-One tactical is just a little bit small for my AR-308, but it's really light and very well done. It's as good of machining and as well built as anything I've seen. I do like the Tbac though, but both Tier one and MDT is sold out of their bi-pod, and the Gen2 Ckye isn't available yet either so....

 

[Holliday]

I love my TBAC!

 

[TxWelder35]

An atlas CAL/SCAL is going to feel a lot different than the PSR
