Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лип 2017
- Side-by-side comparison of the authentic Atlas bipod and the "bonus" features the counterfeits have to offer. The counterfeit being used is one sent into B&T Industries from a customer taking advantage of the Wright Project.
The Wright Project gives a customer the opportunity to turn their counterfeit Atlas into B&T Industries L.L.C. for a $25.00 dollar credit towards a purchase of an authentic, made in America Atlas Bipod.

I was wanting a truly made in USA product and I had no problem with paying for just that!
SUPPORT AMERICAN MADE AND OWNED BUSINESSES!
I’m saving up for the real thing. Keep Americans working, this company shows pride in workmanship. To me, an Atlas bipod is worth the wait. 🇺🇸
And you'll have our support for life. Thank you for your comment! FYI here's a link to our Blemished Page where we offer products for 15%: www.accu-shot.com/catalog_new/32-blemished-official-manufacturer Let us know if you have any questions!
Lol yeah America the fascist country
@@randomvideosfilmcollection3161 Get a dictionary.
I have a clone and its on a 10/22. Looks good. Works good. Paid 23 bucks. Its all ill ever need for a plinker.
Right lol
23 bucks a damn good deal bro. These suckers paying 2-300+$ for a bipod ha!
@@randomvideosfilmcollection3161 The problems he's showing are problems I don't have with mine. Mine have one piece legs, the pivot tension knob does not unscrew all the way like he showed. The clone I have is a great copy. Not saying I'll never have problems but to be honest, you can have problems with real stuff too. I spend money where I need to spend money and that is usually in bolts, triggers, barrels and internals. These "original" Atlas bipods seriously cost wayyyy too much.
What I want to know is, what makes this thing worth $300? My $50 bipod does the exact same thing, is durable, and does everything the Atlas does. I think you're getting severely ripped off.
What exactly is this ''$50 bipod'' you speak of? And what does it do when it ''does the exact same thing''? Hangs on your rifle that sits 247 in your cabinet never even having witnessed the light of day?
At that price point you cant find anything thats worthy to be called durable or having the same features as atlas.
Sounds like major league bullshit.
Design. Patent Rights. Business expenses. Capital investments from profit to make more and better products. Use your head.
Also, plating process take time and multiple iterations. Material purity. Die tolerances.
I don't own an atlas or a counterfeit atlas. I want one though. After shooting targets for 15 years in palma competitions, including state and national teams, you realise that you rely on your gear heavily. I have had a few cheap rifles and a few cheap items that are amazing, but mostly you have to pay for quality - and that quality lasts. My Kreiger barrel still shoots 1/4 min groups after 5000 rounds, my custom action functions flawlessly, every single shot, through a tuned trigger that breaks so smooth not even the best scientific instrumentation could detect its movement. My stock is firmly attached through a custom made carbon fibre bedding block. Sights are dialed in for windage, elevation, adjustaed for mirage. The smith took 6 months to fit the barrel, because I used the best smith, not the fastest or the cheapest. And before I shut that bolt on a handmade and measured round tuned for accuracy, I know that everything is working in harmony to make me the only weak link in the otherwise perfect setup.
Confidence in your gear can give you points. I don't know what the difference is between the two bipods, and in all honesty reading a few of the reviews, the knock-off chinese bipods seem to hold up quite well. However, when the difference in a win is measured over 1000 yard shots, the smallest flaw is amplified. $300 to someone who has this as their shooting criteria, giving you a .01" decrease in group size is definately worth the cost. Its a no brainer.
When I plink steel with my $200 stirling bolt action .22 that bears the scars of 20 years of being dropped, rusted, had firewood piled on top of, left exposed to the elements on a gun rack on the front of an ATV for a week at a time, the knock-off is a no-brainer.
I have all respect for the original design that went into this bipod. And I realise that B&T would feel ripped off that their idea is being coppied. But the Harris got ripped off too, as do most things that are new, and work. The knock-offs are here to stay. Consider it flattery. I suggest you don't bitch about it. Fight it - Introduce your own line of "budget" bipods at the $100-120 price point. Go to china, make your own products there. There are some really good manufacturers in china, just as there are some really bad ones. Get a budget Atlas built there and upsell the knock offs. You could still have the premium line, but not loose the market to overseas competition.
In all honesty, the Atlas Bipods probably only took $25 to $50 to make and we pay $200 to $350. The design is simple and it works. The prices remain high because we are willing to pay for it. I usually use smart phones as an example, the prices are $100 - $1100 in America because we are willing to pay that much for them in other countries they pay only a fraction of the cost.
Mine came in yesterday and the 3” leg extensions came in today. The quality is unreal. Still, I called the company today to clarify mine was real as some of the knockoffs look close. At least the older ones did. But this video so good to distinguish the real Atlas from the clones. The plastic cap on the tension wheel is the main thing. The real Atlas tension wheel will not screw off like the knockoffs. And the new BT-46 wheel has only 4 protrusions on the wheel and only turns a half a turn or a little more. I’ve not seen a clone with limiting bosses either. Thanks for this video to clarify things.
B&T makes a great product no doubt about it, I don't think it's $300 great. The value of an object is set at what the customer will pay for it. People want and crave the quality of the B&T products but they simply as a whole refuse to pay the exorbitant price. They continue to look for an item that will fill their needs and China is listening. B&T did this to themselves, they made the counterfeit product more appealing than the original. I know the theft of intellectual property is wrong but so is the fleecing of the consumer.
Well atleast it makes a nice sound lol
Lol. It's the little things.
Buy the best and cry once.
Hahaha! Now that made me laugh! Thanks! Two words... BUY AMERICAN!!
Randy Bat you do know that American companies get their things from China then manufacture them in the states so you can't even be sure if its genuinely built in America
@@franciscoponce9461 Which is why we contact our vendors and inquire where parts and materials are sourced. Designed. Engineered. Machined. And Assembled in America by Americans.
@@btindustries1300 yawn
Buy som3 hair lol
Not disputing the Atlas is very well made, but in the UK they are even MORE expensive, the new psr 46 is over £300, convert that back to US if you want a seizure....!!!
Buy a Tier one. UK made
Except for U, I've never seen anybody take one apart just for the hell of it to prove a point. Because they can afford to just tear up stuff. Because for the price it's a good cheap bipod. I have several of the Chinese knockoff never had any problems with them. LOL
For clarity, that bipod came to us in that condition through the Wright Project. We are simply demonstrating how it fell apart on the end user. Our experience suggests all counterfeits will have premature failure with use.
B&T Industries oh whatever! When we can buy 6 vs. 1 it still wouldnt make sense. Lol i mean do the math. Wait im sure you have which is exactly why you want people to buy Atlas. I tell you what, my knock off is GREAT and with all the money i saved i can afford for it to fail "premature" as you put it. Lol il go buy another and still have OVER $200+ Left. Whens it gonna fail tho. Im on year 2 with no problems. The key to anything lasting a long life, even the highest quality of products, is maintaining them regularly and properly. Bipods are easy... 100% silicone for the legs.CRC Moly Graph for the internals and a couple orings here and there where needed and cleaning as needed. $300+ Atlas! Lol Paaaaa lease......
~Doc~
No Offense...
@@btindustries1300 What does an Atlas bipod cost to make? Four dollars? How is it priced at 300 plus dollars? Ridiculous.
To those that want to rock the Chinese counterfeit atlas bipods more power to you, here’s the one accessory that you’re missing for your range bag or your hat. Whatever has a hook and loop patch sewn to it.

I bought my Atlas about 7-8 years ago, still today it looks like new. The quality of machining, material and finish cannot be supplied by any copy, i can guarantee that. Im a machinist myself, and i can recognize what is quality anytime. I suggest anyone to buy original, its a life time investment
i recently bought the 5h with quick release here in australia yer it was $735 worth of bipod but once i opened the box and seen how well made it was i knew i made the right decision from using a harris before hand to now the 5h holy shit its so stable i can blow standard 4 inch shotgun clays up at 400 yards away with my standard tikka t3x 308 win so glad i payed the money and got the real deal.

And yet got my first .308 1000 yard challenge on a dam sand bag. Sounds like y'all just can't shoot 😂
dont show this video, they will copy it!!!
Buy AMERICAN 🇺🇸 !!!!
The price wouldn't bother me, the $220.00, but I'm a bench shooter. I served for 13 years in the U.S. Army, I have multiple injuries and agent orange problems. So, shooting from the ground is impossible for me to do, the bench is what I have left to shoot from. The slots in most bipods place you are either too high or too low. I just wish some company would make them with something in between. Vietnam veteran who likes shooting; 11/1970-11/1971 the Mekong Delta.
Buy once cry once. I dont buy fake junk. If I cannot afford the real thing. Then I dont buy it. simple as that.
I do love all 5 of my REAL Atlas bipods. and now a 6th one. a 5H.
I wonder if that's the turd I send in. Lol.
Why don't you guys just make your atlas bi pods 100 bucks? It's a stand for your gun wtf.
No explanation, bullshit vid in fact…
So for the cost of 1 Atlas I can destroy 10 of these?...awesome.
😆 for toys, sure.
Serious hardware? Don't skimp people.
Buy it once, cry once, shoot forever. Atlas.
