Re: atlas bipod
Don't work with a front stud, but you can get small pic rails from Accu-Shot or Seekins which will mount in place of the front stud(s).
They are very nice.

Re: atlas bipod

Send your stock to GAP and they can install one. </div></div>
Does it have to be installed by a gunsmith?

No. It should be an easy install for those willing to try. I personally don't have the time.

Re: atlas bipod
So those of you who have used this bipod and all of the others on the market, prefer the Atlas even over the Harris?
I do like how lo-profile the Atlas is.
But does it have the quick deploy like the Harris does?

Re: atlas bipod
Johnnyscience,
I "played" with one that Kasey had on his table last weekend at the Tulsa Gun Show and I believe it will deploy as quick at the Harris.
The Atlas feels very solid.

Once you get used to it. It's actually faster for me now because on the harris I inevitably hit the little spring release and one of the legs would pop out fully extended on me, so then I'd have to fix that.

And hell yes. Harris vs Atlas is like Outhouse vs Bathroom.

Re: atlas bipod
+1 one what Ratbert said. I just bought an Atlas a few weeks back, replacing a Harris swivel with notched legs. The Atlas is a definite improvement.

Re: atlas bipod
Is there a standard spacing between two studs up front on stocks like Manners or McMillian? I'm trying to see which 1913 rail I need for my T2A Manners. I tried to call but no one was picking up the phone at B&T.

Re: atlas bipod
Maybe someone can measure, they all seem to vary some. My LTR HS precision had around 2.25" spacing, the B&C tactical is closer to 2.75" spacing. I believe the mcmillians are in the 3" range but I could be totally wrong there.
I ended up using the accushot BT15 on my B&C light tactical, but it required using one sling stud and then drilling/tapping another hole for the second screw and plugging the original second sling stud hole. The BT15 also has a lot of curve to it's stock side face and on wider flatter forearms like the light tactical it does not at all fit the stock profile aside on the edges. Time will tell if it will end up indenting into the stock and loosening up with use. If I had it to do over again I would have used some bedding compound to effectively bed the rail to the stock profile.

Re: atlas bipod
Thanks guys, I'm glad you are liking the Atlas.
Guys I do not think any stock maker uses a templet for sling studs. I have talked to a couple and it is done by eye UNLESS specified. The only solution is to measure the hole spacing then find a rail with same.
Bacarrat, sorry to have missed your call.
ToddM, the BT15 is for a stock that has a radius on the bottom, if the stock is flat, the BT17 is better, both have slots so as to work with a range of hole spacings. And if you do not need/want the flush cup which both the BT15 and BT17 have, then any 1913 rail can work. Seekins makes a nice low profile rail and I believe Badger makes several as well.
