Yes they make a mount that will work with the Atlas V8.

Get the NC version and put it on a LaRue mount. Worth the extra money to have the flexibility in the future.

Re: Atlas bipod, to lever or not to lever
Thanks Bob- I did not research it but thought the Atlas came with ARMS. Appreciate the clarification.
My ADM accessory mount tally is going up a bunch mid-week.

I originally had an AI spigot and when I sold that rifle I bought a LaRue throw lever to put it on my AR10. I also own two ADM Recon scope mounts and as far as the lever system itself, I prefer the LaRue. Both lock up solid but the push button feature on the ADM is just a little more difficult to operate than the LaRue, IMO. Especially if you overtighten it. I tightened my first Recon mount one "click" too far and I had to use a screwdriver to pry the levers open. Went back a click and all was good.

Re: Atlas bipod, to lever or not to lever
I own both versions and find that each has their place. The normal bolt on is actually lower profile and with the Atlas's greater length than a harris, will keep the rifle lower to the ground slightly. Good for competition when you need to be real low or for shooting off a bench that won't allow the legs to dig into dirt when proned.
The versatility of the ADM mount is very nice though and for those on a budget and needing to move the bipod from rifle to rifle, might make this option a no-brainer.

Lever...cause the rails are way cheaper than the bipods.

Lever... without any doubt... Rock solid and more functional..
Dare I say it even 'looks' cooler too!

Re: Atlas bipod, to lever or not to lever
Well after much debate I went lever. I had a long talk with Kasey and decided to go lever. Now just have to wait for it to come in.

Re: Atlas bipod, to lever or not to lever
I just ordered a NC version and a LT171. I already have the LaRue/Harris BRMS combo and thought the clamp model might be more at home on the bolt gun and I could keep the Harris for AR use, but after some thought decided that I'd rather have just one superior bipod and the ability to easily remove it. QD emerged as a winner on every front for me.

Re: Atlas bipod, to lever or not to lever
I've got the Larue and the ADM - the ADM mechanism is easier and quicker to use compared to a Larue that is torqued up to get a tight fit. But both do the job.....
