Magpul M-LOK Bipod Mount, Black

Product Information

The CV Life bipod is a budget-oriented option made of hardened steel and aluminum with an anodized finish to prevent rust, which is great if you plan to take your rifle and bipod into the field.

This bipod would also be helpful in NRL22 shooting competitions when dependable performance, cant and pan capabilities come in handy. When to change from rubberized feet another option is up to you, but having replaceable feet at your disposal option can turn a good bipod into an excellent bipod. Designed for streamlined storage until deployment. Folded, the sleek housing and legs fit neatly under the barrel and are just under 2.3” deep and 3.3” wideThe bipod legs snap into position, providing a non-marring forward rest suitable for rifles of any caliber The total weight of the Harris bipod comes in at 21 oz, so there are lighter options available if weight is a primary concern. The swivels help compensate for varied terrain and a built-in sling swivel adds another sling attach point to your rifle, a nice bonus. I have spent my life and career on a range shooting guns. I have been that hunter with a too-large shooting bag, learning the hard way that a bipod would have served me better. I have participated in ‘3-gun’ and ‘NRL22’ shooting competitions and observed precision rifle series competitors perform at the highest levels. A bipod is one of the single most important pieces of gear a competitive shooter needs. The V8 bipod has 5 leg positions giving you complete control over your bipod. Pre-loaded with 30-degrees of total pan (left and right movement) and cant (left and right tilting movement), you can adjust the tension on the pan and cant so that you can customize the level of effort required to swivel on target, which adds a level of customization not found in other bipods and should appeal to competitive or bench shooters who need every advantage possible.

Define why you are looking for a bipod, understand your application, and determine the kind of rifle you plan to use it with before beginning your search. The bipod features heat-treated steel and hard alloys, hard rubber leg caps, and a polymer knob so you get a lot of features that are found on many pricier bipods. Always read the details of how the bipod attaches before purchasing to make sure it will mount correctly to the rail of your gun. With so many different rail systems on the market today, from M-Lok to KeyMod, a Picatinny rail mount and swivel stud mount — it’s all too easy to end up with an expensive paperweight. The total weight of the bipod is 10 oz, so it’s light enough for most uses while making for a solid all-around bipod that has the basics covered without requiring you to dive into carbon fiber or more expensive materials. Harris Engineering solely exists to sell bipods and adapters, so their focus is to continually improve their designs and build bipods for various uses.

Limit Unwanted Movement. Think about the time you learned how to ride a bike. You probably used training wheels to learn how to balance the bicycle and eliminate the wobbling that led to you falling off. Those training wheels supported the bike from tilting left or right and kept the bike pointing straight when pedaling. A rifle bipod functions in a similar way. In simple terms, the best rifle bipods act as a kind of training wheels, with the spring legs keeping the gun balanced while the rail attachment supports the muzzle — helping it stay lined up with the target. A bipod eliminates the wobble and movement of a rifle that shooting support bags cannot do.
