I have the warne bipod... love it! Super sturdy, and I have the spiked feet that are warne brand.. also have it mounted to an Area419 arca/barricade stop.. No issues at all..I’ve seen complaints bout the pan, but, it can be taken part and the pan feature can be locked out, the it will only cant. I have also used the TB on a friends Desert Tech, another great choice, just has a bit more width between legs.. Very happy with my choice in. Warne. 👍🏻
What do you think about the click button feature on this warne that retracts in 1 notch at a time? At shot i did find the fill retract to be hard to manipulate but with the rifle weight resetting on the bipod, was able to click fast to retract. I believe the rep also showed a quick deploy feature in the notch system. Does this version have that?
I have used Warne products for 20 years and never a failure , bounce aside it looks well made and it should loosen up with use so the legs will work better
Is the Warne reasonably rigid when loding? The one part about the Atlas that I dont care for is that it is very spongy when preloading and I have broken the swivel stud a couple times.
About 2 years ago I made my first bipod that had a feature on it that nobody else had all because I broke the one I had the year before. After I made it I started to design a new one, and there features on it (still trying to make it work but almost got it) that no one has. My question is is there a huge market for bipods, should I proceed to go forward and market it? Please let me know.
@@XRING Well that makes me want to get it done faster, I was taking my time on it and have it done by hunting season. Is there a way that I can get a hold of you in the future perhaps test it out?
I’ve been considering this or the Accu-Tac LR10 possibly instead of a comparable Atlas due to perceived flex in the legs. What are your thoughts on the LR10 vs this or the atlas?
Any recommendation between the 3 of the bipods shown and the Accu Tac for a DMR set up 308 18" I'm really leaning towards the Thunder Beast, but wondering if that pan is crucial
are there two different versions of this? I see one that has the quick leg deployment and one that doesn't. it's very hard to get a good description when both versions have similar or same name. please help
Great review Ray. I think for the money though I will just save my pennies and buy a Thunderbeast. I really like the versatility and also the leg extentions 👊😎🇺🇸
I think the ''bounce'' thing with the composition of the feets is rubish. Proper recoil control is what matter not the feet composition on that matter. On the other hand having a nice soft rubber to grip on multiple surface is critical to be able to load the bipod properly. Nice review BTW.
Thanks Viking and good point. However, the rifles like the Christensen MPR and the Proof Tac are going to jump because they are so darn light. Even when loading the bipod they jump and it takes a little extra time to settle down on the target. I never really paid attention to it until I read how their leg design helps to reduce hop. Maybe it’s the design and not so much the foot composition. 🤷♂️ Thanks for commenting
X-RING It’s a valid point in some case and the Thunderbeast design will always prevail because of the wider footprint. I’d be curious to do a side by side comparaison with bipod of the same width and configuration.
The Atlas feet allows the bipod to be loaded on just about any surface. I would have thought the fact the feet and accessories on the other bipods NOT being positively held in position would have garnered a bit more attention....
Demonetized bipod videos... wow... sad times The extension system is kinda neat(and worth developing further, can only imagine it is even trickier to do the quick retract when it is actually mounted), but for me personally i just dont see myself going with this over the Atlas. Not enough useful differentiation to justify the lack of track record, and that WEIGHT. Wowza thats a thiccy. I cant say i have ever once thought that the Atlas was not sturdy enough, just doesnt seem like a useful place to add so much weight. Think they need to bring that price down to around $250 to better entice people who would go Atlas, until they can establish a track record. Same note, dont see too many people in the market for a $320+ bipod, that wants these features, but wont spend the little extra for the TB quality when it is so similar. I suppose they are aiming at gamers and banking on that extra weight to be a value add to enough people. Swing and a miss imo, but always appreciate a solid try Thanks again fella
JB yes they do and at $18 a throw i can buy a bunch of them if need be. Don’t get me wrong, I understand cheap crap vs good stuff, it’s just not everyone needs a LaRue.

nice review like the plus and minus thoughts
Thanks for your content. I always enjoy your videos.

I wonder if the thread pitch on the thunderbeast feet is the same as the Warne - could swap them if the bounce is an issue

I almost fell over in my chair when you said what the price was and how much it weighed ... lol. Great stuff is always Ray. Thanks for sharing.😁👍👊

Thanks Ray for another bipod review it has good points and some bad ones I’m still liking the thunder beast and the Atlas. Have a good one.
Thanks Joaquin! Just trying to show people the many options that are available.
Only thing i dislike is the rubber feet and why arent they black like the bipod? Time to break out the sharpie.
That bipod looks nice also, I like all of those you've reviewed. May have to go get one of these as I only have a couple of cheapies. :D
Very Cool Bipod from Warne. I still love my Harries Bipods thou. Thanks for showing this Bipod , X-Ring !!!!!!!!!
Thank you. Appreciative.
Nice. 3 solid top of the line bipods. I like the way that one cants. Cool stuff X-RING

Hello Ben,
Thanks for the response. The market is HUGE! Lots of CF and billet units bring 3-5 hundred. Long range is where the market is right now.

Would love to see some videos of your favorite go to gear and rifles.
Thank You Sir! I like the 5 leg angles
Thanks He Sa! I still say the Atlas is a tough one to beat.
Good info as even go over the feet that bounce and so forth....Nice stuff....Good stuff....
OMG that's a nice design, that's like Star Wars shit there brother. I really like the mount locking design and really love the hip socket!
Almost bought these over the Accu-tac PC4. Why do they make the rubber feet gray?
I’ve been considering this or the Accu-Tac LR10 possibly instead of a comparable Atlas due to perceived flex in the legs. What are your thoughts on the LR10 vs this or the atlas?

I have the Atlas and neither one of the other 2 have that much more on the Atlas to justify buying one. But the thunderbeast is a close 2nd
Knights makes a Harris replacement adapter that pans and cants. It replaces the saddle mount making it lighter. $80
are there two different versions of this? I see one that has the quick leg deployment and one that doesn't. it's very hard to get a good description when both versions have similar or same name. please help
I think the one I used for the review was actually the first prototypes. I think they changed the design to what it is now.
@@XRING thanks for the info.
Great review Ray. I think for the money though I will just save my pennies and buy a Thunderbeast. I really like the versatility and also the leg extentions 👊😎🇺🇸
Great Review Ray! I think I prefer the thunder beast and Atlas over this one
Same here Luke.
Which one you ending me for TE?
How about MDT CKYE bipod next
Unfortunately, I don’t have one of those. I will see if I can locate one ?
Excellent review ! 👍
You can change the bouncy feet.

Triggertech follow up please!
Will do! Filming that tomorrow.
@@XRING Niiiice. I know a few people are looking forward to your opinion on it after the type of match you tested it in.
👍
You might try Mountain that buy pot on a stock minus the gun barrel that my pass UA-cam
LOL! I thought about doing that exactly! Maybe next time .
I would expect nothing else from Warne.....I run their rings exclusively on my bolt guns based on the beefy rugged nature of their kit.☆☆☆☆☆
You tube has a problem with guns, bipods, freedom, Constitutional rights, life in general, ect...
That costs as much as my rifle! My bipod cost $18 and works just fine.
$18 bipods are breaking all the time
JB yes they do and at $18 a throw i can buy a bunch of them if need be. Don’t get me wrong, I understand cheap crap vs good stuff, it’s just not everyone needs a LaRue.
Mine are utg and there 30-40$ and I use mine for prs and beat the loving shit out of them and they do just fine hahaha
I can honestly say I don’t want that 🤪🔫🤣🔫😜🔫😪
329 bucks for a fucking bipod. No thank you.
