imschur Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 Finally got one. Here is some quick images.. These images dont show all views and details. Ill do a follow up later.
imschur Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Posted July 2, 2011 There's a natural tendency to compare the Bobro to the GG&G as the web pictures make them look similar. Now that I have them side by side there is very few similarities in design
imschur Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Posted July 3, 2011 ill get some weights on these guys and my Harris's but Ill bet the Bobro is lighter than the Harris. The GG&G is much lighter than it appears.
imschur Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Posted July 3, 2011 I used my trigger pull gauge to weigh these Bipods. The only Harris that wasnt securely mounted was a little 6-9" I have on my 10-22. So it's safe to say the full sixed Harris's would be a few onces more. I will weigh one eventually.AnyhowHarris 6"-9" 14.5oz'sBobro 15oz'sGG&G Heavy Duty 19.8oz'sGG&G Standard 15.3oz'sThe Harris bipods utilize more steel than the GG&G or Bobro. Also note that the Harris requires an additional part to mount on a picatinny. Picatinny mount is integrated in the Bobro and GG&G. I think the GG&G and Harris will end up being nearly identical in weight. Also the GG&G is the heavy duty and not their standard duty model.
98Z5V Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 Also the GG&G is the heavy duty and not their standard duty model.I was gonna mention that when the pics went up - that's the GG&G HD-XDS. I'd like to see the Standard XDS beside the Bobro for comparison (Hmmm... ;D ). According to GG&G, the HD-XDS weight is 17oz, and the Standard XDS is 11.5oz. I like the GG&G bipods, and I've always liked the Bobro's, too, just never picked one up. That's a good looking piece when you see the first-hand pics and comparo. <thumbsup>
imschur Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Posted July 3, 2011 Yeah the GG&G's are my standard. The Bobro has a very clever QD system. Hopefully when on vcation Ill get some quality detailed images.Given the prices if the Bobro was readily available that would be my go to. Without that I the GG&G is the next best thing
Jgun Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 Any of you guys ever tried the varsa pod bi pods?
survivalshop Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 I have one on my 20" & I like it . Not sure of the weight ,but hell , that rifle is heavy any way.I like the way you can move around with it . Others don't like it ,they say it feels loose, but the rifle is dead on using it .
Jgun Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 survivalshop, when the legs are folded up under the gun, are the pretty secure, or do they wobble around?
hobbesgunner Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 Have a Versa-pod on 24 in. Bull barrel AR...I like it ..feels solid but still has good range of motion,cant and tilt...quick detach is nice feature too.easy on/off multiple guns if you buy extra mounts....it does feel and look a little wobbly when folded up.if you were to run or maybe jump off something I think it would deploy itself ... Thought about putting heavier spring in it, see if that tightens it ... think it weighs little more than a lightweight Harris.....the GG&G I've got is a feather...none of the others even compare....getting what you pay for though..could buy 3 of the others for what it cost..my only criticism of it is that it's not as compact,tight to weapon, as the Harris bipods when folded up.
imschur Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Posted July 16, 2011 Weights, homey... ;D wait homey <lmao>
