This bipod is good value for the money at less than $20. I looked around and other options were much more expensive. It is simply made, but functions well and has a standard locking screw type attachment rather than a quick detach lever. Another reviewer noted the tight fit and I also had a tight fit on my Sig 556, but it does slide on with a little encouragement over the polymer rail on the underside of the forearm. Maybe the polymer "gives" a little, as I didn't have to file my bipod any. For the price, you really can't go far wrong!

When I got this bi-pod, I was skeptical about its size. I wasn't sure if using a 30 round magazine would be possible. Well, it is but you won't get much elevation out of it even on the highest setting. It doesn't have a swivel base for x-axis adjusting, but it's feet are like skis so it works on a bench rest fairly well. It's fairly stable and retracts easily. I had to grind the powder coat finish on the mounting plate because it was so tight that it wouldn't have mounted otherwise. Once the powder coat was all off I still had to tap it onto the picatinny mount with a rubber mallet. I'm pretty sure it won't be coming off anytime soon.....even if I wanted it to.

works great, slipped right on. tightened down good by hand. i have a green laser in front of it and the legs clear it . smaller than i expected but great for prone/bench. folds solid, opens solid. Looks great. [...] i would recommend it.

I installed this bipod to an AR-15 rifle with picatinny foregrip rails and tested it on the range. The first thing I noticed was any movement while aiming causes the bipod to wobble so consistency suffers. Grouping is better than without a bipod so I'll be using it until I can find a better one. Not bad for the price paid and I did get what I paid for.

I looked at a number of bipods before purchasing this one. Overall, it was on the less expensive side, but it performs great for my use at the range with my M&P 15-22. Folds up and down easily, and it very light. Just squeeze the legs together and pull up or down. Seems a little wobbily until you are ready to shoot, but once you set the rifle down and put weight on it, it is very solid. The adjustable length legs are very useful and adjust easily. The only downside--and it has nothing to do with this particular product--is that, when folded, the legs are a little too wide to fit in my carrying case. However, a few twists on the thumbscrew and the bipod slides right off.

It fit my Colt .22 LR M-4 Ops perfectly, no filing & no hammering. It might be that it fits the Picatinny Rails perfectly but you may need to modify it for a Weaver Rail.

For the price... it doesn't get much better.

Used in Afghanistan and everyone thought I was using a m249 Bipod. Came in real handy for keeping weapon of of dirt. More stylish and diverse than the pistol grip bipod you can get from your armorer.

When I told my buddies how much I got it for they were stunned. Everyone wanted one!

The only issue is that, like the m249 bipod, if used enough, the pins that hold the legs to the swivel will come loose and fall out. Only happened once in sector, used a mag to bang back in. Once back at base just hammered the edges to make a lip to prevent from happening again. So far it hasn't happened again.

Would recommend for anyone looking for that lightweight, SEXY looking bipod for their weapon.

Considering the price you pay, this is actually a pretty decent bipod. I didn't want to pay hundreds to find out I would barely use a bipod or wouldn't be comfy with it so this was a great solution. It has a thumb screw for easy removal and mounting. It has a spring action so all you do is squeeze the legs together to wither retract or deploy. It has a slight wiggle to it but considering it swivels, how else do you think it will act? It is solid enough so don't blame the pod for movement, I sniped plenty with it and no problems related to the pod. The legs lock and retract down easy enough too. The feet do not have a rubber boot to it so there are few surfaces you have to be mindful about but that can be solved by dipping the very end in that insta-coat rubber you can get in a hardware store. I personally didn't need it. I am happy with this item.

I used it on my .223 and 22LR conversion..

nice add-on for heavy hard to steady guns worked well on my rife and fit well on the pic. rails on the gun

I used this bipod with a bipod mount on a 91/30 Mosin Nagant. I put about 60 rounds through the rifle this morning and the bipod holds strong. Easily adjustable, locks into a weaver rail very well and feels solid when I shoot. My only gripe is the lack of swivel, but still a pretty good value for the money.
