Thread: Javelin/Backlanz/Mtn gear bipod review

That's awesome. As mentioned in another Thread I ran the Spartan Javelin TAC but replaced with the the MTN Gear Mountain Bipod. The only differing opinion I'd offer to the above, and it's something I do notice hunters talk about, is leaving this type of bipod mounted on a rifle all the time. This is not the purpose of these bipods. They are designed to be quickly attached. Your right, the Spartan just clicks in then you "spread the legs". The MTN takes a few more seconds. But, ultimately you are using these to shoot game at longer distances, so I'm often putting it in the top of the backpack, then taking out when required. I would not carry any of these bipods (given their weight and size) externally fitted. That would be a "tears moment" having one come off while going through scrub. The MTN Bipod is insanely light at 140g and what a range of movement and height (higher than the equivalent Spartan) and Kiwi made. Your right about the plastic foot on the MTN, but only found this an issue at the range - just use a rubber matt when shooting from a smooth wooden bench, allows you to load up.
