“less expensive” bipod with “cant”

[bigHUN]

I have reworked both the Accu-Tac and Atlas clones, a bit of tinkering and some elbow greasing and these can function pretty decent for the money.

I chose to go with clones because no one of the expensiver "original" designs doesn't have a real self centering function.

If the money would not be an issue, or maybe later in time, I would like to get myself one f-class or like this below the fortmeier-k bipod...the vertical self centers on gravity if that tells you anything.

I picked up a Caldwell Accumax Carbon on ebay. 35 bucks. It works for cheap. And I have a real BT 10 v8 on my impact. Night and day but the knock off caldwell does the job

For a good budget one with cant this is what I'd choose. Have a tall version for sitting and it works great. Also have other higher end ones like Magpul, UTG Big Bore Full Stability, and Accu-Tac FC-G2. But for a cheap one the one below is hard to beat

My Magpul bipod arrived yesterday from Amazon. I played with it a bit and it seems to do just what I want. At a fairly reasonable price. Thanks all for the input.

For PCPs below $500 USD less expensive bipods and clones work well. I have two UTGs which serve well but do not compare in the least to my Accu-Tac BR4 G2. When I added up the true cost of my rig, I decided I wanted a bipod that would never fail and flop my precious to the deck.

I followed L.Leon's advice and logic and ended up with the Accu-Tac BR4 G2. It's a terrific bipod. (I have no experience with Atlas.) Along the way I went through several that were cheaper. For around $100 you can pickup a Magpul (Zeringue's post). It's not an Accurate-Tac, but it's a very good bipod. And Magpul has excellent customer support. I lost a screw from mine, called them, and they put a couple in the mail right away. 

I know there are likely other accessories and upgrades you are going to want now or down the road. Wherever possible, buy enough quality so that you don't end up buying the same gizmo all over again. It's the "buy once, cry once thing." 

Let us know how things go. Happy New Year!

I've had excellent results with this inexpensive Accu-Tac copy. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084Q9DQNX/?coliid=I1NB5YCCQ85DG2&colid=EZ4SYGEVY3XM&psc=1
