Most useful accessories on atlas

[Dkindels]

To those who have them, what add ons are a must have?

Nota, the rubber work everywhere

 

[Bigwheels]

I have the extensions, & the claws. I don't use the extensions often, but I do need the claws in soft ground.

I have the extensions, caws and spikes, out of all of them the spikes get used the most.

 

[KillShot]

Get the spikes!

Just got my Atlas and love it. I am going to grab a set of spikes very soon.

I wrote to see your thoughts as I bought the cleat feet. I dont like that they will roll over if you lean in hard enough. I just ordered one for a buddy today and he is going with the spikes. I like the look of that on the rifle KillShot.

Another one for spikes.

The cleats are useless unless you have them at a 45 degree angle. I wish I had never bought them.

I have the cleats as well. And yes they will roll on that knuckle if you load the bipod too much. I bought the spikes and they are just as useful as the bipod itself. They work awesome.

Big + 1 for the spikes! They dig in big time and allow to easily load your bipod. They even dig in to the hardest Oklahoma red dirt.

Well that's got me sold. I'm getting a Atlas and the spikes. Thanks guys

How handy are the extensions? Better than carrying a longer set of bipods like I do?

 

[RFtinkerer]

Almost never use my extensions. Of course I'm in Kansas, terrain is different everywhere.

I have never tried out any of the accessories. The rubber feet seem to work fine with me. But I have thought about picking up some of the spikes.

 

[ORD]

The rubber feet work VERY well for 99% of the shooting that I do on a WIDE range of surfaces and should more than enable you to get a proper load on the bipod, but I will say that the spikes do lend themselves to letting the shooter get set up on the bipod even on the slickest and most difficult of surfaces. Its one of those things that you'll likely get the spikes and not use them often, but its nice to have them for that 1% of the time that they really come in handy. Its your money so do as you please, but you probably don't NEED any of the "accessories" the vast majority of the time. YMMV.

As for the extensions...I have a set that I picked up used from someone who sold them because they "never really used them." I should have paid attention to that comment before dropping the money on them because I too rarely use them. Again...nice to have in a pinch, but it really all comes down to a personal decision based on the shooting you are doing, where you are doing it, etc., etc., etc.
