Hey Brother,

I cut my teeth on Harris Bipods. Compared to those, it's slower to deploy, adjust and collapse, and unlike my Podlock equipped versions, it can't be leveled and locked on the level. It's also significantly more expensive then a Harris with a Podlock. The feet are hard plastic, so unlike the Harris, when you are on a hard surface, you can't really preload it, as the feet just slide compared to the rubber feet on the Harris. By comparison, the feet slide, so the recoil is different, and I don't really get any bipod hop.

Now with all that said, it might sound like I don't like the bipod, but that's the thing. I still really like this bipod. It feels hell for stout. The same thing that causes it to be slow, the fact that it locks open and closed, also ensures there is no inadvertent leg collapse like can happen with a Harris, nor do you need to worry about hooking the leg on something and deploying it inadvertently during movement or on a stalk. I can also rest the forward folded legs on something and support the front of the rifle that way, offering me all that added forward real estate to support the rifle, like having and extended forearm. Since the bipod locks in that position, it feels very stable. I also like the way they used the urethane bushings to allow for movement to level and pan, but still offer steady support. When open, it has a wider foot print and it feels more stable when shooting off of it compared to the smaller Harris. So, while it's very different then a Harris, I really like the feel of it.

I hope this helps. <thumbsup>

Respectfully,

Harry

I hope you all don't mind me chiming in on this post, but here is a pic of my lower and Vltor IMOD stock. I am just getting started on my first 308 build. After reading the post here looks like I have a lot more research to do on which upper I can use.

By the way nice pics guys.

Here are a couple of pics with my assembled POF , still need a trigger and pistol grip. Then will start on the upper.

I could use some suggestions for my barrel, leaning towards a DPMS just for the cost, but I do know there are some better ones on the market. I would like to keep the $ down a bit.

very nice^^. hows that brake working for you.

Thanks, George. The compensator works really well. It was specifically designed for a precision rifle and it all but eliminates ground signature and blowback that is typical when using a brake/comp when shooting from the prone position. It takes the recoil of a .308 down to that of a 5.56 so I'm very happy with it until my TBAC comes in next year.
