If you're not afraid to spend some serious coin on your precision shooting equipment, then you're probably okay with what this product is right here. This is the MDT bipod. This is the double pull model. This is sort of the flagship bipod that's on the market for PRS shooters, snipers, other kinds of comp shooters and people who just enjoy shooting and doing long range things. So here's what you get in the box. You get an Allen key for adjusting tension on some of the different points of the bipod. The sticker, thank goodness. Some instructions demonstrating what this is.
I do suggest giving this a little look over. It talks about where you're going to set your leg width, your leg swing, the extension, but more importantly, it explains what some of the other hardware is and how to adjust it such as your pan lock, your cant tension and your pan tension. So definitely check that out. And then of course you have the bipod itself. Now for the sake of demonstration, I already have one of these mounted to this Ruger RPR.
There's a few things about this bipod that make it super awesome. One of which is you can adjust the cant of the legs themselves. So on a lot of bipods, when you get to deploy them, they're just always kind of in the same spot. But on this bipod, you can angle them inwards or outwards depending on how low you are to the ground or depending on what kind of terrain you are shooting on. If you all of a sudden need to do a high angle shot, you could simply collapse the legs in by pressing the little knob on the inside and it's going to make it, you know, very aggressively angled downwards.
And I can now do my high angle shot accordingly. Now this particular model of MDT bipod isn't just restricted to this length right here. I have the ability to lengthen one leg all the way out, which again, if I'm doing some crazy high angle shooting in the mountains, which I've done with these bipods and it's looked like this, I can now take this shot like so. If for some reason I need to go even longer, well, this is a double pull, which means I have a whole other leg extension. It's a little bit shorter than the first. That allows me to really get the rifle up there. If I need to quickly adjust my angle for whatever reason, be super wide and supported, although this would not be that supported because now it's going to bounce around a lot.
I can always retract these and set it up accordingly. There's a little lever over here. If I push this down, now I can pan the rifle in place for target transitioning on movers without having to move my tripod position, my bipod position. And this is important if I was shooting in some sort of weird environment in her terrain where I get my bipod all set and my little jagged teeth are dug into the ground. I've got a mover or I just want to be able to move my rifle freely. I would just pop that sucker and now I can transition my rifle through an array of targets or in a sort of a range fan and do what I need to do. Set the rifle back to center and then push the lever back up.
That will lock it. Now I'm set. You can adjust the tension of the panning. So again, as you are trying to take shots with the rifle level, you will either want that to be super firm or you might want to loosen it up. And that's going to be done here at the front. I recommend using some sort of like screwdriver or something you can punch through the hole and then you're just going to turn that either way to tighten or loosen the tension for panning the rifle itself side to side.
You can also articulate the legs forward. So not only do you have the stowed position, which is common for every bipod out there, you can also do a half position. So again, this would be for something, some sort of weird position you're shooting into. Maybe you're jamming it into something and it just gives you some freedom to build the proper, a good shooting position, a stable shooting position. Maybe you've got like a car on this side and something else on this side. Again, the real purpose behind this particular bipod is it gives you really ultimate freedom for whatever you need to do, including lengths for the legs.
If you are shooting across some weird in between two objects and you just need the rifle to be as flat to the ground, as close to the ground as possible so that you can take that stable and accurate shot. And so that's something I really like about this bipod. I mean, there's ways with these bipods that I still haven't used them for. Different kinds of terrain and obstacles to shoot around. But I know having this particular bipod, I will be able to address many, if not all of those challenges with this particular piece of equipment. And I'm not going to feel like there's something that I am missing. So it is pricey, it is expensive, but there's a reason most of the pros out there are selecting this particular bipod or the single pole as the bipod of their choice.
There's a couple other features I'll cover real quick. It's in a normal configuration. This is has an ARCA head. So if you have an ARCA rifle, you can obviously position this where you need to.
And you'll see that on this particular model, there is a barricade stop. So if you are shooting on some type of barricade and you want to have a hard angle to jam into, you can do that. But another thing that I like to do is take my shooting bag, run that sucker here against my magwell, and then take this and jam my bag in between the barricade stop of my bipod and my magwell.
And that just makes it even more stable when I'm shooting off of a barricade that I am placing my bag on top of. So again, this bipod really does give you a lot of versatility, which is super cool. You're just going to pay a little bit of money for it.
