    F T/R Competition Sinclair bipod question

    Finally bit the bullet and bought the new Sinclair bi-pod. It doesnt seem to want to tighten down and stay put, I can wiggle it just a bit and I dont like that. Is it customary for these bipods to have a little slack in them? The rifle is a Savage 12 ftr. Kinda bummed!
