I have an FX Dreamline Lite and am looking for a new bipod. I have a Magpul on it now, but the picatinny rail on the rifle is placed such that when the rifle is sitting horizontally/parallel to the ground, the weight distribution could easily cause a light bump to tip the rifle forward off the bench. This hasn't happened yet, but it looks like a disaster waiting for Murphy to show up. (Think teeter-totter.)

I'd like to find a bipod that would allow the legs to slant forward and so eliminate the concern about the rifle tipping forward. Also: legs about 10 to 15 inches long, ready to mount on a picatinny rail, QD, $150 or less if possible. Lite weight is helpful by not a deal breaker. I'll mainly be using this on a bench.

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Ha! Well, it's humbling to have to answer my own question, but for the record this is what I just ordered. I'll post this in case someone else is looking for a similar bipod. The seller says the weight is 1.17 pounds. $80 shipped from Amazon.

@GunshipGuy, if you get to handle an Acu-Tac you’ll immediately see and feel the quality. The quick detach is smooth and engages the Picatinny rail with minimal tension. You get a solid lockup without having to torque down on the quick release lever. The legs lock solidly into all their positions. The canting lock lever is easy to operate and locks up solid. I know they are pricey. I sold my Gamo Urban to fund mine. Good luck with your decision.
