UTG Big Bore Full Stability Bipod

This is my newly acquired (September 2019) UTG Big Bore Full Stability Bipod (aka Model TL-BPFS01) to be used with my Zel Custom Tactilite T-1 50 BMG upper assembly for AR-15 lowers. I was originally going to use the Atlas BT-10 bipod, which Zel Custom seemingly presented as being capable of withstanding the 50 BMG. However, upon receiving it and examining it, and mounting it on the T-1, it seemed awfully small for it. I considered getting a GG&G Bipod, but after shelling out around $300 bucks for the Atlas, I wasn't in too much of a hurry to buy another expensive bipod. Fast forward half a decade, and I discovered the UTG, which is a relatively new offering. The price at around $140 was much more appealing and so I bought it.
By the way, in the time since I purchased the upper, Zel Custom had been bought out by McCutchen Firearms. Zel Customs had a good concept but poor execution. There is a famous video of one blowing up on first firsing due to the wrong muzzle break on the barrel.

Look at over bores, very stable and looks cool

[@magnumcipher4971]

Man thanks for showing the size comparison next to the Atlas. I knew it was heavily built, but seeing them side by side, I have one in route. 🤘🏽

[@hot2warm]

You're welcome. I still haven't fired the 50 cal and after seeing what happened to Kentucky Ballistics, I'm a little leery about the whole 50 cal thing.

[@magnumcipher4971]

@@hot2warm Man! Right!? If Scott wasn’t such big strong dude it would’ve ended way worse. I’d still say go for it. Good luck bro.

[@Scott-dl1ui]

Please post a video soon of how it performs. I am interested in buying this bipod.

Cool, glad I came across your video. These bmg 50's are ((HEAVY))... The 31 inch barrel is about 1.25" round, LOL! Our finished 50 weighs about 35 pounds & will destroy a little aluminum stand that would be fine for a AR or hunting rifle.... Put a 10moa or 20moa scope mount , and find a scope with 1.125" tube so you have more moa travel in the turrets... Still looking forward to a 1,000 yard rock chuck hunt, LOL!... Also, these things will clear your sinuses & destroy COVID19 within 3 rounds..

How has it held up for you?

[@TacticalBuffoonary]

Thanks for the review, I was looking for something for my Rugar precision 300wm.

[@hot2warm]

I hope it works out for you. I haven't had a chance to try mine out yet.

[@marcegrecco53]

I think UTG makes good products at a very reasonable price

[@marcegrecco53]

Would you consider an over bore bipod, they make sure them, UTG

[@bellaphone5719]

its that single shot 50 my friend

[@blake7749]

Does it have to fit that far off the rail? Like a block then the bipod?

[@sofakingtactical5710]

2 questions for you sir: First, With the legs at their shortest setting and perpendicular to the rifle, how stable does it feel against accidental tip overs, strong wind maybe, or a light kick if someone's not paying attention? Second, with the legs 45 degrees forward, setting 2 let's call it, how strong does it feel? I recently switched to a Magpul bipod on my 6.5 because the Harris 9-13 always felt too tall if I was shooting downhill. With this one starting at 10 inches, I'd imagine I'd need to set the legs to position 2 to shoot downhill, and my 50 weighs something like 35 pounds. Thanks for any help or advice that you can give.

Does the pan lever Lock Solid ? Or gives a little wiggle .

[@Life_a_bike]

Solid

I think the word you wanted to use was the word "substancial" as compared to "robust" as the Atlas bipod is definitely robust but is too small for your rifle!
