110 BA Stealth chassis bipod options

[Trashmaster1500]

The chassis on the 110 BA stealth chambered in .308 is an MDT LSS chassis. Basically I either have mlok rails on it for a bipod swivel to mount a bipod. I think utilizing the MLOK slots will be more sturdy than the sling swivel. I recently put on a custom shilen bull barrel that is very heavy. I was previously using a Harris bipod but it’s not study enough for the heavy weight now. I’m looking to get accu-Shot Atlas bipod, either a bt69ns Model but also leaning towards the BT72ns more now based on the wider stance it has which I hear is better to stabilize a heavier weapon. I was wondering if anyone had any insight on the best mount options for the 17s size “lever mount” for sturdiness for the those 2 atlas models as I need a very sturdy bipod now but the one thing I don’t necessarily care for on the atlas is the more preload required compared to the Harris. Does anyone else recommend another bipod that will be extremely sturdy as I’m doing prone or bench shooting. I also need around 7-12” of height

Sinclair?

Not made for preload and I know some folks think that's the only way to go.

Here’s what you do… Order some 2024 or 7075 Billet Aluminum, Titanium rod & hardware & 4mm Carbon Fiber plate. Then design & make your own for a whole lot less $$!

Seriously, the prices on those Bipods are such a turn off to me. Honestly a Versa-Pod with Spigot mounting gives just as good support for much, much less money. But in the two you are looking at, the BT69ns seems the better option as it’s a 7”-12” bipod.

Keeping an eye on this thread. I have just been using a Harris on my Stealth in 6.5 Creedmoor. Whatta Hobby!

One thing I can say, if your stock/chassis has a short firearm, you will benefit from using a Spigot style adapter for your Bipod. There are Bipods sold with them, and you can purchase Spigot adapters. But they are pretty easy to make. The Spigot puts the bipod out further in front. By doing this, you gain stability. It’s just common geometry & mechanics.

I made my Spigot about 6” long. But there are some 3-4 times that length. The picture below shows how I made mine. It locks in the bipod via clamping turn screw.


That was the second one I made. Here is the first which was much simpler. Just a piece of Aluminum attached to the Chassis firearm and then had a Picatinny rail screwed to the bottom of the rail.

Nice bipod Dave! Has given me some ideas.

Also reminds me of childhood. I wanted a bipod for my .22 bolt gun. There just weren't many around and the money I had I spent on bullets :) So, I got out some scrap wood and made one. It was really a tripod with the front leg adjusting the height.

Why does the top picture seem to have 2 different size tubes?

Dave, what does it take to get a bipod like this?
