Ouch....but still keen even at that price :XD:
I can live with that price
Could be keen depending on final price.
Depending on timing i could be keen
Hi Guys ok I have talked with the team at New Zealand ammunition about these bipods and they have them on order already but their is no date yet but they are hoping to have them here before roar. I will keep you posted on this
Quentin
Still interested, dependent on price.
I see these are now available from Vertebrae NeoPod so any updates from this side of the world??
I have been in contact with the Neopod director for over a year now about these.
His update in the new year to me was that they should be on the market after January.
He is seeing the NZ distributors early march at a trade show in Germany.
But they may be available in NZ prior to then.
I have a mate coming out from Germany in march to hunt and hoping to get one out with him if they are still not available here.
$400 US plus sales tax is still the number he has quoted.
I've ordered one from Vertebrae, expect it mid-late Feb
Yep I've done the same, couldn't be bothered waiting for the local importer.Quote:

As Gimp said plus you can get the spigot mounts separately so could have one for the Blaser and one for a standard sling swivel.Quote:

Features of the Javelin – Javelin Bipod
133grams (5 oz)
Looks good but it comes with UK production prices!
Think I'll get one. Like most quality products it's expensive but over the long haul the cost is virtually negligible if you're using it often.Quote:

Has anyone tried one of these if not what is the best hunting BipodQuote:

Harris or atlas depending on what you are doing and how much you want to spend
I know Harris are good bipods but have you tried the Javelin bipod stub? The latter seems to offer a big weight advantage over the Harris and it's clones and appears to be very well made, as it should be for the price.Quote:

Is it so hard to call?
Javelin bipod is around the 400 mark and is pretty good for what it is, here's my take on it, I have the demo from Allan Brown who is the agent here for the UK based designer, now I priced getting one direct from the UK and it was over 500 so not a bad price here.
One of the legs is fixed and one moves, they are held together by magnets or apart and it also uses a magnet to hold it on the mount, it swivels left/right and has a knob to tighten the sideways action.
The legs are a twist and pull out setup and work well, you can pull them out completely if not carful but no drama if you do, there is a red line with stop marked on each leg.
It sits in your pack or belt bag until you need it so it won't get it the way and the mount has an integrated attachment for your sling, all in all its a pretty compact low profile mount system.
On the rifle it feels solid but on my 308 it twists a little under recoil, no big deal I guess, would I buy one.... Maybe, I'm still tossing up the idea, a day pack works just as well but we do like our toys, I'd say it is one of the best light weight iPods on the market and cheaper than some others I can mention.....
The kit comes with 2 mounting screws depending what you need and there are two different styles of mount depending on your rifle, also supplied is an Allen key.
If you are interested in getting your hands on demo pm me and I'll pass the details on to you.
