GG&G Bipod 1125 Standard XDS? Any good?

[yakmastermax]

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the bipods GG&G offers, specifically the standard XDS one:

Tactical Rifle Bipods | AR-15 Extreme Duty Sniper Bipod

Extreme duty swiveling bipod for AR-15 and M-16 Rifles. GG&G's military grade tactical folding bipod is made from aircraft grade aluminum alloys, so it is sturdy and lightweight. Adjustable height silent deployment AR-15 bipods.

I like my Atlas fine, but I need a second bipod for a loaner gun, and don't want to spend Atlas money again.

I was just looking at those yesterday and wondering the same thing.

Their kool looking but nothing like an atlas as far use goes. It sucked compared to the atlas. Will it work yes! But not well if you like locking down the panning for little to no movement. My tension screw for panning actually striped out. I was only tightening by hand firmly. The legs don’t extend to preset lengths like an atlas with detents. Not a deal breaker but kind of a pain in comparison. The Legs adjust with a thumbnut. Trying to get them level with a screw over and over no thanks. If you only need it setup for one length and use the pan feature, you’ll like it enough. It is a quick deploy bipod.
The standard atlas cal with pic attachment is $239. It’s well worth it over the $186 from gg&g

Atlas, harris, and Kac are my go to bipods. They are rugged and reliable. Atlas and kac bipods have similiar deployment mechanism while I enjoy the harris bipods on my mk12 clones - kiss (keep it stupid simple).
