![]() Check out the short clip I made above to show you how easy it is to operate the legs on this bipod.Īlong with the adjustments above, the pod also offers +/- 15 degrees of both preload cant and pan, with an adjustment knob to toggle the amount of tension. While not quite as fast as a spring loaded system, like that found on Harris’ pods, I found that with practice I could quickly adjust the legs out and in. Instead, you grasp the leg and use your thumb to pull down on the adjustment release, then adjust to the desired length. You can adjust the height of each leg from 4.75-inches out to 9-inches, with 5 pre-set length settings, and you have 5 positions to choose for the angle of the legs (stowed back, stowed forward, 45 degrees forward or backwards, or 90 degrees downward).Īs I mentioned earlier, the Atlas bipod does not offer a sprung action, meaning the legs don’t spring forward or outward when you need to adjust their length or position. Above you can see the Atlas mounted to my rifle. What you get is a solid, well built bipod system that gives you a stable platform to shoot from, in a variety of positions. There are no springs in the way, and there is no added bulk. It’s very simplistic, offering what you need and nothing more. The first feature that caught my attention with the Atlas bipod was its design. Optional accessories: 3″ leg extensions, interchangeable Ski and Multi Spiked style feet (can be easily swapped in place of the standard rubber feet).Finish: available in any finish you want, as long as it’s Hard Anodized Black.Construction: Aircraft grade T6061 Aluminum with stainless steel springs and fasteners and UHMW components for smooth tracking.Leg positions: stowed forward, stowed back, 90 degrees straight down, 45 degrees forward or rearward.Swivel adjustment: 15 degrees +/- of preloaded Pan and Cant.Leg adjustment: Non orientated leg length adjustment with five positions that are ¾-inches apart and can be adjusted by either hand.Mount: Low profile clamp that mounts directly to any 1913 style Picatinny rail.I’ll get into that more below, for now lets take a look at the bipod’s specs, as well as some close-up photos of its features. This is why I felt the Atlas would serve me best. ![]() However, I didn’t want to add a ton of bulk and/or weight at the same time. While having a bipod on your AR is not always needed, I wanted to have a good solid from of support for situations where I’d be shooting from the prone, from a bench, or from another hard surface (downed tree trunk, etc.). What follows is my hands on Atlas bipod review after using it in the field for 6+ months. After careful consideration of features, weight, and price, I chose what I thought to be the best unit for my needs the Atlas bipod from B&T Industries. During my quest to find the perfect bipod, I ended up debating between three models from Harris, GG&G, and B&T Industries. Being that I’m a hunter, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted in a bipod. When looking for a bipod for your AR15, there are a plethora of options.
