Would someone please explain the differences between these 3 different models. BT10 railmount 1913
BT10-LW17 railmount 1913
BT46-LW17PSR railmount 1913
BT10-LW17 railmount 1913
BT46-LW17PSR railmount 1913
Atlas Bipod's ?
- Thread starter para1505
- Start date
Difference between the two BT10 versions is the "LW17" version has a ADM quick detach mount. The BT10 railmount is non-QD.
BT46
BT46
- Larger, stronger inner legs
- Non-Rotating Legs: outer leg does not rotate around inner leg
- Fore and Aft pivot limiting Bosses
Yes, PSR is the one most people are going with. The QD is also very nice if you shoot competitions and need to take your bipod on/off the rifle frequently depending on the position.
PSR! Been running the same two Harris bipods with claws for 9 years and recently went to the PSR and I love it
Like day and night, after using the Harris in the service back then; getting caught with all kinds of stuff, or ending up with half the botanical gardens stuck in those springs, not to mention the operation of the legs, or the wobble when it would come loose after a nice sprint and hard landing. Love that PSR! Grateful to the Harris for what it provided back then but still hate it for the negatives.
For those who like the PSR, how would you compare it to the CAL Atlas? Looking at getting an atlas with ADM mount for my AT when funds are available.
It depends on what you are planning to do with it. If you are planning to do only benchrest shooting, or shooting out of the prone at stationary targets and you don't want the pan function then go with the CAL. If you are shooting in the field hunting, or you participate in competition shooting with all kinds of challenging firing positions and you might need the pan feature then go with the PSR.
Other than that it is personal preference, both are high quality pieces of equipment; both will provide you with a stable shooting platform. I own the PSR and prefer it for the versatility it offers me, some that don't engage in my style of shooting probably will disagree. I spend years building my routine while wearing the uniform, repeatability makes accurate was the mantra. What I do works for me, regardless what others may, or may not think, and if it works it ain't stupid.

@SonicBurlap
Thats exactly the answer I was looking for. Only about 20% of my shooting will be prone (mostly a group shot here and there). The other 80% will be hunting or positional (barricades, sling shooting, tripod, etc).
So with the PSR, I only loose the ability to lock down my rifle cant right? But I gain a bit of panning ability?
What else am I missing?

How do you shoot the other 60%?
I preferred the CAL because of the wider legs. The lack of the pan feature didn’t bother me. I especially liked how you could lock down the cant right compared to the PSR. I’ve often seen guys struggle to keep their PSR’s tight.
With the PSR you have limited cant and pan capability of 15 degrees on each side for a total of 30 degrees
Oops, I meant to say 80%. My bad.
Sonic, I guessing you’ve used the panning for movers?
When they are in use 30% gives you just enough time to get a good lead but I have to admit I've only been to two places that had movers hooked up for targets. Other than that it works when hunting, although I would not engage running animals to be able to ensure an ethical kill.
