Accu-tac bipods

[Achucker]

Does any one use these bipods. I was looking specifically at the sr-5 gen 2 and the wb-5. I curious if the lower mounting and wider footprint on the wb is worth the loss of smaller footprint when stowed of the sr-5.

I've been using Javelin bipods from Spartan precision for about 6 yrs. I carry 2, a 9-12" on my pack belt for prone and a 2nd w/19"-42" legs on the non-rifle side of my pack for sitting/kneeling. The pair weighs 1oz more than a standard Harris and only goes on the rifle when you want/need it.

Those look interesting.

Long time Harris user. I can't use anything else. BUT those I'd give a try.

You should buy a set and let me beat on them a bit.... lol

I think they give them neat names and are like some fishing lures that catch more fishermen than fish. My hunting friend like myself uses Harris bipod and he took first place swat sniper competition shooting against feds with $8k rigs

They look good . Im an atlas guy. I like the rail for easy on and off. Loading the bipod with the atlas is way more consistent for me than with harris style bipods

 

[Jiffy]

Harris definitely are a PITA to take off and on. I can see the advantage of the rail system.

These really aren't any lighter than Harris either, I was initially hoping they were.

Ya they are not light weight at all. I think the javelin really shine there

How? Legs down on like terrain, with weight of the rifle and you pushing into it how is it possible one is different or better? Its challenging my understanding of physics. I understand how off stone vs soft soil changes loading if you dont have spikes and changes elevation because of vibration resulting in some jump off hard surfaces, but all being equal do you think there is real difference? I have a couple friends with Atlas and do like them. I have shot using one of them. It was nice and went on quickly, but I leave my bipod on so fast connect is slower than already on.

You can load the atlas with more forward pressure because of the design of how the legs work. Wiggle the legs on a harris then wiggle the legs on the atlas.

I can see a possible difference in preloading if you have a Tupperware stock.

I haven't used an atlas so I can't definitively say one is better or worse than the other.

I know my Harris are rock solid, but very clumsy and heavy.

I also HATE attaching anything to the dainty fore end of my M70 featherweight. Yes, even though is a McMillian. I've seen those sling swivels break and the bipod itself wobbles and flops about. HATE them on that fore end!!

 

[Achucker]

I've had Harris and they are ok. I did get a chance to shoot an accu-tac and I think where they shine along with some others is after the shot. No matter how much you loaded the Harris the "bounced" alot after shot broke and was harder to aquire target because of play in the bipod

 

[Jiffy]

If I can get into the dirt with mine I can hold NPA between shots with my FN (308). On a bench it bounces like double Ds.

My 7 SAUM is a little harder to control but doable.

My 300 blows me out every single shot no matter what.

Jiffy if you're ever looking for another featherweight I have one new in the box "90s model" in a 270 wood with stainless "pretty gun". Been thinking about selling some lately.

Do I need to drown Jiffy to be 1st in line? I'll probably have him in the boat enough this summer to get him overboard.......

Don't tell him though, he'll be scrappy about it if he knows.

I agree the Atlas is built good, heck we all have harris 50 years ago, I like MDT hunter series for high altitude hunting alot of ways ot use it. NOne of good stuff is cheap.
