Questions & Answers
Engineered, designed, tested, manufactured, and shipped entirely within the United States of America.
Yes. Three slots is sufficient.
This device is capable of dealing with an AR-based situation. Rifles in the 10 size, G3 size, and FAL size. I'd go with something beefier once you get into the bigger bull barreled bench guns.
It is, without a doubt, the M-series. The bipod is available in a LOK version that will fit in any M-series vehicle. Handguard that is LOK compatible.
Selected User Reviews For Magpul Rifle Bipod
This was mounted on my Ruger Precision 338, but it wasn't the right bipod for such a heavy weapon. I could never get the tension knob tight enough to allow me to roll the rifle left and right. This bipod would be ideal for smaller assault rifles such as the AR15, but there is too much flex when the legs are fully extended, which I cannot have when shooting at 1000 yards.
I'm a Magpul fan and supporter, but this offering does not appeal to me. Not in a precision application, at least. It was supposed to be mounted on a Magpul Hunter 700 stock with a Remington 700 rifle. 308 The following are the two most significant concerns: br>br>1) Legs with too much slop. There is a lot of back-and-forth when you're locked down. a fourth game I expected some play, but this is a wobble that requires too much forward tension to stabilize. br>br>2) The locking knob does not fully lock off the tilt; the rifle can still be tilted with ease no matter how tight it is. br>br>The bi-fold door's overall craftsmanship is excellent. The pod is fine, and it's exactly what I'd expect from Magpul, but these two design flaws will not hold up in real-world shooting. And especially not at this price.
A Ruger Precision was recently purchased by me. 300 Win Mag, and I was surprised to discover that Ruger's idea of a solid mounting stud for a Harris style bipod was limited to the stud's threads (but that's another story, for another review). I knew I needed a stronger bipod because of the rifle's weight and recoil. I was particularly interested in those that had a direct M-to-M connection. With a nice QD lever, you can use Lok mounts or Picatinny mounts. I looked at dozens of options while pondering my options. They appeared to be mostly under $30 or over $200, with the majority of the low-end options receiving a lot of negative feedback. Even though there were several negative reviews, I decided to give the Magpul bipod a try after considering all of my options. It appeared to have everything I wanted and none of the things I didn't (no need to swivel or cant when shooting targets from a bench). br>br>It arrived two days later, and I was eager to install it, which, like most M-series products, was a breeze. Accessorize with Lok. Two things, unfortunately, caught me off guard right away. The first was the amount of movement available when the legs are snapped into any position. It will move more than an inch forward and back. The second thing that surprised me was how much the legs flexed outwards when it was supported by the full weight of this heavy bench rifle. The bipod's main frame is made of polymer and flexes significantly. I understand that polymers can flex, but this appears to be to the point where it will fail in the not-too-distant future. I don't want my rifle to fall to the bench because my bipod snapped from the recoil of a shot. Everyone, I'm sure, feels the same way. The worst part is that both of these problems are the result of poor design and/or a lack of funds. When Magpul was prototyping the legs, they had to realize that there was too much play in them, which prevented the legs from providing the stable base that shooters require. Before going into full production, they should have worked out that bug. That wouldn't have solved my heavy gun's other problem, but the product could have been ideal for lighter ARs and even lighter precision rifles. The center frame could be made of aluminum or even steel, which would be the most significant improvement. Sure, aluminum would have added a small amount of weight and reduced the product's profit margin, but they would have had a fantastic product with much better reviews. Magpul should, at the very least, include a weight limit in the product's description or specifications, as breaking it could be dangerous. br>br>I hope some of you find this review useful. This item will be returned to me.
This bipod has a five-star rating. It makes me believe that this item is being purchased by a small number of experienced shooters. Magpul has always been a favorite of mine, and I will continue to buy more of their products. If you want to get the most out of this bipod when you're out shooting, carefully remove it from the rifle and place it on the tailgate with your paper targets to keep the targets from blowing away. If the Atlas is out of your price range, the Harris is a good alternative. When in the shooting position, the legs of this bipod have far too much play. It lacks the stable rest that I seek in a bipod.
They're successful at selling these because it says MAGPUL on it, so it's decent, but not perfect. This isn't a bipod designed for target shooting. When everything is tight, there is a lot of play in almost every adjustable mechanism. This is not a good idea.
I'm sure there are bipod purists out there who will dismiss this device, but I think it's fantastic. As an example, I own a Harris and have relocated it from my AR-style rifle. based 6. 6 Grendel to a bolt action 5. Grendel to a bolt action 4. Grendel to a bolt action 5. I chose the 5 Creedmoor because I prefer the Magpul bipod. When collapsing the Harris legs, I can't tell you how many times my fingers have hit the handguard. This is because they are built on a spring-loaded action. The Magpul legs, on the other hand, are held in place and can be locked in a couple of positions with a button, and there is no tension, so my fingers don't slam into the weapon's frame. The magpul bipod has a knurled knob that can be used to tilt and rotate the weapon. Overall, this is a very simple to use bipod that offers the same level of flexibility as any other 6-position bipod. I've used other manufacturers' 9" devices in the past. If you keep an eye on Amazon, you can frequently find great deals from Amazon Warehouse, as I have twice, and each time the bipod I received was in excellent condition, despite the box being a little beat up. The MLOK screws and nuts were missing on the last one, but a quick chat with Amazon's customer service team resulted in a credit to my account that was sufficient to cover a new set. To be completely honest, I haven't put a lot of rounds through either of the Magpul bipods yet, but I've "played" with them a few times and like what I've seen so far. I'll keep you updated if I run into any problems at the range.
The only metal part (see photo) was rusted when it arrived. br>As advertised, this item is not worth the money.
