advice please...

Post by 40xguy »

Looking for a good bipod for smallbore shooting. Don't have $400 for one of the best,
but there must be some good ones available for a lower price. Have an "Anschutz rail" on the bottom
to mount the bipod on. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

this would be for shooting. a bipod to help hold the rifle steady when shooting.

I do not shoot supported, but here are what they are using at the High-Power matches if they are not using the $300-$500 rigs (which most are)

Edit:
I do shoot off a bag rest when installing new sights.

Bipods ... you gotta learn how to 'preload' them, or they bounce and throw shots to God knows where...

Get a good sling and coat... for score. And a proper 'Benchrest' setup for testing ammo...

You'll need a proper bench as well ...

Been there, done that... don't want to repeat it ...

My preferred bipod for FTR rimfire shooting is an Atlas Cal BT65. The CAL series allows you to tilt the rifle to level it out.

Looks like there’s a pretty good deal on a blemished one : https://accu-shot.com/shop/blemished-of ... las-bipod/

I recommend pairing with a B&T Anschutz to Picatinny adapter.
