Bipod for Evol .22

[tommyt53]

Hey everyone...I have a Evol .22 being shipped from AoA and they want to sell me a Accu-tac BR4-G2 for 291.00. There must be a more economical choice that is lightweight and sturdy. I’m open for suggestions. 

THANKS FOR ALL THE SUGGESTIONS BUT I ENDED UP BUYING THE ATLAS ACCUSHOT BT10. 



thanks in advance....

Have you checked out CVLIFE bipods?

You will never regret buying the Accu-Tac bipod!!!

I have that exact bipod and it is by far the BEST bipod I have !

It will definitely last a lifetime !

Every time I deploy my Accutac BR4 G-2 and I mean every time, I'm glad I bought it, awesome quality. No nonsense bipod to hold up and support my pricey gun and scope. Deploys in all three positions quickly and solidly, easily switched between rifles and did I mention solid and proven. I would definitely buy again if I somehow lost it, I can't see breaking it.

i am curious why the accu-tac seems more popular in the airgun world than Atlas, which is more popular in the centerfire arena.

i have a harris, atlas cal, and accu-tac (sr-5 g2) and the accu-tac is the most solid platform of three.

@theLBC, the first Accutac I got to handle was on an AR15 platform. To my eyes the Accutac looks way more bomber than the Atlas. I like the fact that the Accutac takes rough handling and deploying in stride.

Just be aware that if you ordered the Atlas BT10, it falls under the V8 family of Atlas Bipods. It's pretty much the Gen1 versions of Atlas Bipods. I looked at the pic on AoA and it is the old version with the rotating legs. AoA did not list the exact Atlas model which would have been very helpful. 

The problem with the rotating legs is when you're loading the bipod on a solid surface, the legs start to rotate making the gun move forward when you don't want it to. The model you're receiving is most likely the Atlas V8 BT10-LW17 if it comes with the ADM quick-release mount. It also doesn't have the Fore/Aft Limiting Bosses meaning the mounting area kind of bends when you load the bipod.

The model you want to get is the Atlas PSR BT46-LW17 which is pretty much the Gen2 version with all the fixes and upgrades. It should also have a wider push button for leg deployment and stowaway. Here's a pic from the Atlas website that shows the differences between the V8 and PSR models.

A lot of people also recommended the Accu-Tac BR-4 G2 which is a damn good bipod as well although it's heavier than the Atlas bipods if that's a main concern for you. I do agree with the others about he Accu-Tac BR-4 G2 being one hell of a solid bipod. Since you're mounting it on an Evol, I took a few pics of some bipods mounted on my Evol 30 for comparison.

I'm not sure if you want to return it for a refund if they already shipped it out but that's your decision and just something to be aware about so you don't get the wrong impression of Atlas bipods in general.

I like the Atlas BT65NC GEN 2 CAL that comes without the clamp. I add the RRS HC-PRO clamp to the Atlas which allows it to work with Picatinny and Arca rails. I like the first one so much I bought another.
