Magpul M-LOK Bipod Mount, Black

Product Information

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.

When it comes to shooting .22 LR rifles, you don’t need a heavy-duty bipod made with precision tolerances. One of your first considerations for a .22 rifle bipod is the weight of the bipod you’re considering. If the bipod adds too much weight to the front end of the gun, this can affect your ability to keep the muzzle elevated. AR-15s and other commonly-chambered semi-auto rifles are best suited for average, middle-tier bipods. An AR is nowhere near as heavy as a PRS rifle, so an AR bipod doesn’t need quite as many adjustments or functions, or to offer the same level of support.

Item details

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. Lastly, the feet and leg extensions are interchangeable, fitting most Atlas pattern feet and making this an excellent option for shooters who need to optimize their setup for different environments. Or those who have a strong preference for specific styles of feet. 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.

The alternatives to an M-Lok bipod are other means of stabilizing rifles — mainly shooting bags and bench rests, both of which are used in long-range shooting. 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. In the long haul, rifle bipods are the kind of tactical gear that may not save you money but will save you frustration when hunting or long-range shooting. 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 bipod includes an M-Lok rail mount adapter and a Picatinny QD adapter if you want to change it up later.I have tested and demoed bipods introduced at Shot Show and played with just about every bipod on friends’ rifles as well. All the best M-Lok bipods offer standard features. 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. 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. The bipod legs snap into position, providing a non-marring forward rest suitable for rifles of any caliber 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” wide
