What are your thoughts on the UTG Heavy Duty Recon 360 Bipod?

Houli · Mar 2, 2019

I have a Harris and like it. Bought a used atlas, but turned out to be counterfeit, quality less than desirable. Going to make a purchase soon thought I might give the UTG Heavy Duty Recon 360 Bipod some consideration. Thought I would ask here first.

Thanks

The UTG is a decent bipod for the money. I only have experience with the UTG’s and the Atlas and AccuTac knockoffs, for my use they all work pretty good.

Hmmmm, I like my Atlas knock offs better than my Recon? Now I'll need to check out a Green Blob. Thanks Douger!

I have a handful of them, and love them!

I use them on all of my PCP rifles, and I use them on my match-grade bench-rest "10/22s" too.

They've got great adjustments on them as far as pivoting and telescoping legs are concerned,
and with the tensioned ball-head like design, there's elevation, windage, and cant adjustment too..
If left loose, they're extremely maneuverable - when tightened, they're rock solid steady..

There are a couple of things to like about the recon. First, it's not a knock off of something else so you aren't hurting anyone. Second, The ability to to put one leg forward, one leg backwards and rotate the bipod gets you a much wider footprint when needed. Third, it's built very well for the price.

First time seeing these...and looked at the Blob SR bipods too. I guess either would work okay. My genuine Atlas is a sexy beast and just so easy to use at night by feel alone...I had Harris bipods but would never use anything other than Atlas now. They are that good and nice.

I like Lewis's comment they are their own product and therefore not a knock off.

Thanks for the replies. Still not sure, just know that I wasn't happy with the knock off I received. As it stands I am leaning towards a genuine Atlas or AccuTac with quick release and just plan on using on all rifles. The Harris has served its purpose well but is bulkier and not so fast to change between models.

As to my original post of the UTG Recon, cheap enough that trying one wont set me back and only at this time will find out for myself it this unit will serve me well or not. Thanks for all the input, much appreciated
