Bipod Choices

[Henry A. Bowman]

Hi All...

For my birthday I received the greatest present ever, a 50 Cal rifle. Now that I've scoped it and have been out to the range a couple of times, I'm looking for a bipod. From what I've seen available, GG&G, Atlas, and Sinclair (tactical and F-Class)seem like the most durable choices. I hate having to choose sight unseen online...and nobody at my local range is shooting anything this big. Some recommendations from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

Henry

100% behind Atlas. Kasey has made a product which is above its peers. In that you are on a .50, a call to Kasey might be warranted. You might get advice to wait until the V-8 goes live.

Thanks for the advice all. I have been in contact with all the manufacturers via phone or email and they have all said the same thing: best invention since toilet paper. However, I appreciate the advice from all and from this small sample it sounds like Atlas is the way to go. I'll wait to see what Kasey & Co. has to say about the V8 model. Waiting is hard.

Lowlight had to wait nearly 2 years for someone to make a stock in his size. I think the OAL of the stock was 8.6" with a .25" forend.
