The rubber feet that grab nothing, and the floppy ass tilt on the Harris are definitely two of my biggest complaints with it.

Depends on your budget but I use EI or Ckye PodSo I need to upgrade my bipod to something more sturdy and adaptable than a Harris.
What is the going consensus from the esteemed members of this establishment on a good all around general purpose bipod that plays nice with ARCA rail? I see lots of options, but have no direct experience with anything but Harris products.
I’ve read through some threads but still can’t make up my mind. Going to live on my AT-X whatever I choose.
*Not a AWMMore stable , better for accuracy etc. Takes longer to deploy. Less versatile you can’t slide it back closer to you. Takes longer to remove
Tbac is quick , stable enough ,
I like the elite a lot for steadiness / long small shots but the reason I finally got a arca mount to put on my AI is for sideways rooftops at matches. I had cyke bit they are junk sold them. There was a rooftop ^ you shoot left side then right side at MKM. kicked my ass with the tbac. Lol. The elite swivels all the way so will be perfect if I ever have time to shoot matches /practice
I like them enough that 1 has a permanent hone on my AWM

This really should go in its own thread. We all have our preferences based on how we shoot. You’ll get people recommending cyke, atlas, TBAC, elite iron, Accutac and others. Then people who will say go with a tripod. Its going to depend on your intended usesThe rubber feet that grab nothing, and the floppy ass tilt on the Harris are definitely two of my biggest complaints with it.
@RUN8 agreed the atlas cal is a nice bipod. The tbac is a better harris if you really like harris.
The feet on the Harris roll forward if you try to load it at all. The rifle just rolls away from you. That’s my biggest complaint with it. But the tilt adjustment (assuming you do the Pod-Loc mod) is among the best I’ve used. With a Pod-Loc, the Harris is probably better on the tilt consistency than most others. But the little thumb wheel that comes on a stock Harris to adjust tilt tension is next to useless.The rubber feet that grab nothing, and the floppy ass tilt on the Harris are definitely two of my biggest complaints with it.

What is the trick to finding AW magazines?
Do they hit the market and get instantly gobbled up?
Does AI only make them once per year or some other type of schedule?
What is the pattern of life for these things?
I have in stock alerts setup at most of the normal places.
Thank you in advance.

I wonder if one could grind the lip off AX mags?Those are not aw mags.....
I was able to pick up 3 in the last month, just checked the places I got them and they are out of stock. It was short action precision and triad tactical so maybe not on your list.What is the trick to finding AW magazines?

Just be wary of those Nigerian prince ads. WTB ads are scammer magnets hereMaybe try a WTB in the PX also. I bet a lot of people have 1 of 2 in a parts bin unused. Might have bought them to try with a AW cut custom but went back to AICS mags.
I have some new AW mags if anyone has atx mags and wants to tradeBuy the AW mags with the lip (ax/atx), take dremel with cutoff wheel and put a slit down the center of the "lip". Now take a flat face hammer (jewlers hammer) and beat it flat. I have a few mags I've done this to and they have been running for years.
I'll snap a few pics when I get home of the finished product. It takes me longer to find where I put my damn dremel tool than it does to mod a few mags. As for destruction you are only putting the slit in the lip. The carbon disk is just the right thickness that when you hammer the flaps flush it's the perfect gap.I have some new AW mags if anyone has atx mags and wants to trade
That seems like a lot of work and destruction
GM308M2 is all I shoot in my 24" factory AX308 barrel. Last time in Chrono'd it was 2668fps.View attachment 8341440
Any of y’all shooting GM308M2 in your 24” barrels (unsuppressed…like a hero)? If so, what speeds are you seeing?
Shooting out of my 24" barreled AT and using my bud's Labradar, I measured an MV of 2656 with an SD of 10.9 (20 rounds consecutive).
Very nice. Do you have a similar formula for 175 grain SMKsView attachment 8342140
Reloads not factory..
I got 185 jugs to go 2730. No pressure signs. Didn’t get to try it out to 1k yards yet. I’m sure it’ll have no problem goin that distance.
26” AI barrel

40.7 imr 4064 with a 175smk at 2.820 coal in lapua brass (41.7 in winchester) is my M118LR load. Does 2700 out of a 24" and 2560 out of a 19". Gupical groups out of the 19" and honestly any gun I've put them through with this load. (The black x one is truthfully not part of the group)Very nice.

So maybe 2,800 fps out of a 26" barrel??40.7 imr 4064 with a 175smk at 2.820 coal in lapua brass (41.7 in winchester) is my M118LR load. Does 2700 out of a 24" and 2560 out of a 19".

Possible, might be a bit ambitious but I'd say 2775ish.So maybe 2,800 fps out of a 26" barrel??
I don’t. Was going too, but the bc on the jugs looks better on paper then that of the 175 smk. So went with the jugs instead. Though, I did snag a box of 169 smk. Which has the same bc as the 175 smk. Should be able to get the 169’s close to 2800. 26” barrel 1:10 and reloads really gets the 185’s going though. Some use MR 2000 to get it in the 2700 plus range with a 20” barrel.Very nice. Do you have a similar formula for 175 grain SMKs
