No other bipod comes even close!
I did a LOT of research before buying this Atlas bipod. I've gotta tell ya, out of all the gear I've used over the years, this blows them all away. I wasn't sure which rail mount to use with it so I went with the 5-slot rail. No need to buy one, though, if you have a 3-slot rail mount. That will work just as well and save you a little $$. The quality of the entire bipod is excellent and the quick detach lever is first rate & very easy to use. The degree of horizontal and vertical motion and the ease of mounting on uneven terrain make this the absolute best gear for the $$. And for the guy who mentioned "quick react drills" in a previous post...if you're looking to use a bipod during reacting and movement to contact, you obviously have never been in combat. Never waste your time with bipods in those situations.
Outstanding Bipod!
This is my second Atlas Bipod. The first one was flawless and I gave it to one of my shooting buds as a going away present. He snapped it on his M1 and immediately said "this just isn't fair!" Since the last thing I want to be is fair, I'm getting a second one. It is a flawless piece of equipment. Well worth the extra cash.
quality bipod
very good quality piece. i use on a custom remington .308 in a McMillan m40a3 stock. have this bolted to a small picatinny rail on the front bottom of stock. highly adjustable, and very easy to preload. I wish I had gotten the quick attach model instead of the 2 bolt model so I could use in on different rifles while not having to unbolt it. That said, it is a nice product. Worth the high cost over a Harris.
EXTREME versatility
These adjust in so many ways you simply can't find a better unit for any purpose. My favorite feature: Extend the legs fully, then run them parallel to the barrel and finally, angle them off to the side of the gun. You can now get a nice, steady rest on something that is not in front of you; ie: a tree trunk or branch that is on your side which gives you steady a shooting platform yet unobstructed movement vertically. *Note: By "not quick to deploy" I mean they're slower than other styles; still easy and very versatile, just not as quick as others which may not be good for a immediate action.
Excellent product
I put this on an AR in 6.8spc with a YHM LW tube. I have not used any other Bipods and do not like to buy multiple items so I got one of the best. I really am glad i spent the extra money now instead of later. This is incredible. I can not say enough good things about it. Buy it and you will not regret the extra cost.
Best quality bipod ever saw.
It's very useful for all purposes with own accessories. Quality and precision made. Light weight. Easy mounts. Could be used with any carbines and rifles I think.
Best bipod available
I purchased an Atlas bipod for my AR10 and I liked it so much i bought another one for my .338 Lapua, as well as the Accushot monopod. The ability to cant and pan the rifle is a great feature. Accushot is an excellent company that makes quality products. There are several accessories that they make for the atlas bipod including leg extensions and interchangeable feet. The QD Lever makes it easy to change the bipod between rifles.

Easy to attach, strong sturdy mounting system, easy to use with a wide range of adjustments. My use is long range shooting (out to 1,000 yds) with a custom bolt action rifle. If you need "quick interchangeability between rifles" choose one of these with the lever lock mounting system.
