There are several places in the US that will ship them though, eg EuroOptic

Regardless of personal preference, the video was well made. Enjoyed it without dialogue unless that was Marcel Marceau I could hear doing the voice over (Happy now Toby? )
Comparison videos on other products including gear such as packs, day bags, tents etc would be a big ask but relevant to the NZ hunter

Ok then gimp, send me your pod down and I'll give it a real workout.

To be fair, I was convinced by the video. The way it fits to the stock is the only annoying bit for me. I will see what KG reckons and maybe I will get in line for a play. It is claimed I can wreck an Anvil. It should be fun.

The rail attachment put me off for ages too. Once you have one you realise it's not in the way or a problem in the slightest, and QD is super handy. I prefer to carry the rifle with bipod detached and in pack, and attach it as needed for balance/handling reasons.

Getting there. I will need to see one in person.

Don't worry I won't be going out of my way to hurt it....

Cheers Gimp

I hope not

See for work rifles I don't shag around like that. In fact it would be a real pain to do it.

You don't actually have to remove it all the time just because it's QD.

About the only thing I can think of that would improve the Atlas is if they came up with a QD option that could be used with an Anshultz rail instead of the picatinny.

Tisk Tussock, what you're moaning about I call advantages

That other one doesn't have auto closing like the Harris does....
