A lot has been said about the poor build quality, the functionality and the durability of the cloned bipods, “you get what you pay for” is often said, all of this is true but for the price there are ok.
They were never made to used on big bore rifles, they where made to to match styling of the original to be fitted on air soft weapons that match the styling of the original gun. I think most are advertised as such.
The fact that these clones find there way onto many airguns, for the most part, work reasonably well for 20-30 times less than the original should applauded not ridiculed.
When a $15 clone doesn’t pan and tilt perfectly smoothly or the lock nut unscrews, it is frustrating, when a $2000 gun blows an o ring, suffers reg creep, we collectively shrug our shoulders and say “these things happen”
yes the clones aren’t great, yes they fall apart, yes the are cheap, would I use one if I were a soldier, a police officer a serious target shooter, hell no, but for what I use them for, they are fine.
