My Magpul bipod has been living on my 22 for a but but wanted to see how it did in the field. This is just one outing so long term durability and usefulness is to be determined. My only other experience is with a Harris although a local retailer has a large selection of Atlas I'm interested in trying out. On my 22 from a bench, it's been stable but its noticeably higher then the harris. It's a 22 so muzzle jump is never an issue but it's been very stable so far. In the field on my Ruger, the ability to pan was great since I was offset from the targets a bit. Had to pan for every shot from 200 to 1k. The bipod feels a bit flimsy but once loaded, felt solid and never noticed the rifle jumping on me during shots. It was very dusty and if you are familiar with Utah, the dust is very fine and finds its way into everything. Full day of shooting and getting covered in dust and dirt, never had the leg adjustments, pan or tilt get jammed up. Rifle felt stable all day and after a few shots, and the bipod set itself into the ground, it never moved. Took a few shots off the bench with it and zero hop too. I bought it primarily for my 22 but I had zero issues with it all day on the Ruger. As long as the long term durability is there, I think it will give Harris some competition since it has alot of typical Harris upgrades but for the same price.
Magpul Bipod mini review
- Thread starter Mdxj
- Start date
I bought the Magpul when they first became available, I also have a 2 Harris' and an Atlas V8. For the price the Magpul is a decent option. My only complaint would be the minimum height is 1-1.5" too high for bench use. There's definitely a lot worse bipods at higher price points on the market.
