UTG Tactical Op Bipod-swat/combat profielen, verstelbare hoogte bi-voet-tactiek, zwart, M

As usual, UTG/Leapers has nailed it with this one, too. It took me three tries (slogging through different brands and types), and I realize I just should've started here.FIRSTAbout the only thing you couldn't attach this to is a catpult. The Picatinny mount (ready, out-of-the-box) is a bench-vise. (Wait til you see the attaching hardware. (I think they use the same suspension parts on Humvees ...). The sling stud adapter gear is similarly bomb-proof. All of this sits on a base that gives you about ten degrees pan to either side. Stiff, dampened pan, not wimpy fall-apart pan.The struts are reminiscent of Harris gear, which is dandy. While positive click-stops might be handy sometimes, to me nothing beats being able to micro-adjust a reticle to the horizon. (And I've beaten up a few products that can't manage that.)This is not a lightweight airsoft accessory. I own several rifles and air guns, and this piece would serve on any of them. In fact, if pressed, I would leave the Harris home and swap this out on the other stuff, keep the kit simple.BIG round rubber feetsies! 1.125 inches dia.And of course, beartrap springs.I LIKE it. Obvious enough?SECONDThis is not an overly-tall piece, even at full extension:LOW: Pic dove-to-surface = 6.25 inchesHIGH: Pic dove-tp-surface = 7.625 inchesThis suits me fine; you may want a different model.As mentioned, the hardware is "brutal." If I could change one teensy thing, I'd make the Pic block lower, if possible --- it's a good .625 from the Pic dove to the platform, so folded, it's not incredibly low-pro.So --- two strikes, and now, this one's outta the park!It is now living (part-time) under a custom Pic mount on a Benjamin Marauder Pistol/Carbine. The Rifle is jealous. And at some point this 'pd will probably be visiting some heavier stuff, too.I would recommend this to my best friend.

I was skeptical, but after receiving the item (and might I add the shipping was insanely quick) I was impressed before I even had the packaging open. I installed this on my lower DIY picatinny rail on a boyds evo stock within seconds of having it out of the packaging. Nice and tight and after taking it out for the afternoon I could not tell the difference between the UTG and my $80 harris pod. When i got home I wanted to see how it mounted up with the swivel mount provided so I tossed it on my 10/22, worked great and looked decent! Great pod for a 22/223 project, might even work on a larger caliber rifle.I highly recommend this as a cheaper alternative to the more expensive pods.

I think a testament to a products quality is having a return buyer.I purchased one of these 6 months ago for a .22LR Savage Mark2 FV and sold it with the gun earlier this week. Not because I wanted to get rid of the bipod but because the gun sold better as a complete package. I've since purchased a Mark2 TR and instinctively went to buy another one of these to go with it. For the money I'm very pleased with the functionality and durability of this bipod. It doesn't leave me wanting anything. Sure the Harris bipod may be more rugged and built with better materials, but unless you want a bipod to go on an "end of the world" gun where ruggedness truly matters, I can't see a reason why you'd need anything more than this. For the average range shooter this will do just the trick and on a relative budget.As far as functionality goes, I find myself shooting with the legs extended most of the time whether from a bench or in prone. After having owned the same model (6"-9") my first time I purchased this one again as being able to collapse it for storage and expand it for use is preferred opposed to having a bipod that's always large and extends to a length I don't find myself needing (9"-12").

I picked this up to give it a try for my series 181 Mini 14. I really didn't want to spend the money on a pricey name brand but I found this one works fine for a lot less. The only issue I had was related to the bipod adapter I have to use on the Mini, as it has no sling swivel stud. A little minor engineering and I was able to get the locking nut secured where I needed..It required making a shorter pin to replace the screw which goes thru the sling swivel stud. This was thru no fault of the bipod, just a quirk of the adapter I was using.The bipod is solid with nice strong springs, legs easily adjustable, rubber end caps, good height for bench shooting. The instructions are pretty sketchy but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. The bipod does swivel some but I found I needed to slightly loosen the allen head bolt on the bottom. Takes a metric allen wrench. If you don't loosen that it won't swivel, certainly not easily. I'm probably going to pick up another for my vintage 22. I'd highly recommend this if you want something that will do the job without breaking the bank.

This is a very sturdy bipod and is perfect for an AR-15. I have it on a Colt CRX and can say that it'll work for either prone or bench shooting. When extended, it is long enough for a 30 round magazine. However, when the gun is laid down it will be resting on the magazine and bipod. This can cause the gun to tip over to the left or right fairly easy if it's on a soft surface because of its center of gravity. Some 20 round mags will take care of that though and the $8 thermold magazines I found at a local shop work perfect. Also, the finish of the product is great. Very clean and smooth. Recoil with a .223 is no issue, considering there is hardly any with this caliber. I haven't shot with it much but I'm confident that it will hold up. I really like the that pushing a single button on both legs will retract the legs. Definitely worth saving $40+ over buying a more expensive brand...*cough* Harris/Atlas *cough*. One last thing. This model, the OP-1, is a 6.1" to 8.1" bipod. The OP-2 might be preferable to some AR owners so that 30 round magazines won't get in the way at all because the OP-2 is considerably longer. But I preferred the OP-1 because of how compact it is. Like I said, a 30 round mag will work with this one just fine, but a 20 round mag is better and I also like the way 20 rounders look.
