It all depends on the terrain/surface you'll be shooting off of with the bipod.

depends on the purpose.
if you prefer skis on a bench then get them but standard legs should work fine.
extended feet might be usefull if your constantly shooting on slopes

Re: Atlas bipod feet ??
Standard feet work well in most instances. Except in soft dirt and wet grass, claws work better. I don't like claws for concrete or hard and smooth surfaces because of movement. In short, try the standard Atlas feet first and see, but I find them more versatile.

Re: Atlas bipod feet ??
I bought the ski feet, they really didnt work out. My V7 had a bad tendency for the legs to rotate anytime the bipod was loaded(v8 upgrade lessened this, though I still wish there was no rotation). The ski feet made this 3x worse and on top of that the knuckle/joint doesnt have enough range of motion for the foot to sit flat on a bench/concrete floor.
I glued some rubber to the bottom of the skis to try to help but it didnt help and I've never been able to use them (the original feet work better).

I had this same problem with the claw feet. When I load the bipod they tended to roll up on edge. The standard feet are what I stick with.

Does the claw circular feet have a ball joint to alter its angles or are they stiff on a straight shaft with no movement

Re: Atlas bipod feet ??
ch'e - yes, they have a ball joint. A better solution than the PodClaws IMHO.
