Thread: Lightweight bipod

Like everyone I am starting to upgrade gear to more modern leightweight stuff - coming from a cycling background I know that saving the odd gram here and there all ads up on the stuff you put in your pack or on your rifle. So i started looking at leightweight bipods - Spartan etc.

At $600+ and a special mount required for your rifle I thought bollocks to that and had a go using an old bushbuck carbon bipod I had at home that I rarely used.

Stripping it right back and deleting the rotation ability of the bipod I got it down to 230gm, not bad for a 6" to 12" bipod on a budget. Compared in weight to a Harris Bipod @ nearly 500gms and a Spartan @ 150gms.

I know that it isn' superlight , but it takes some weight off my ageing bones and hips.
