Advice about Atlas BT72

RTTY · Aug 16, 2025

Hello, I think to buy the BT72 (two screws picatinny), I shoot prevalently from bench, some time (very some) prone.

My alternative choice are the FC5-G2 AccuTac, but my dubt are about the range of leg height adjust, I thin tha the BT 72 are more adjustable(?).

On my range the targets beyond 300m are very inclined, up to 27° for the 900m target.

Can you make some advices before I make the purchase?

Thanks!

I have Atlas CAL and three Ascu-Tac bipods, two of which are FC4-G@ models.
The 6 Harris bipods and the CAL gather dust while the Accuracy-Tacs are my go-to bipods.
Like you I shoot off benches most of the time (99%) and I find the Accutac to have plenty of adjustment.

Hello @shoot4fun , your preference about AccuTac and his adjustability are about the cant and pan?

If yes, I don't need the pan adjust, and so the plenty adjustability of the FC4 compared to the CAL are always superior?

I don't use the pan but cant is, as you know, most important. Some benches I shoot matches from are on the small side and the pan feature can make a difference in being comfortable behind the rifle or not.
Both of mine are FC4, as that is what I was able to buy at a considerable discount slightly used, but that doesn't mean the FC5 will be a bad choice. The other, and first acquired, is a BR4 I think (maybe the longer legged version) and I found it to be a bit long for bench use. It was always too high at 90˚ and the legs were too close to the front edge of the bench at 45˚. I also prefer the wider stance provided by the FC bipods.

Ok for the infos, the bench at my range are about 24" large.

That does seem to be on the small side. The FC series has a pretty wide stance.
I tried the Rempel (meant for F-Class) on one of the larger benches I shoot on and once adjusted to correct height the legs were almost as wide as the bench.
