SKU: BT72-LW17
Overview
Built for shooters who want a stable support with controlled adjustment, this bipod is designed to mount directly to a 1913-style Picatinny rail using the included ADM-170-S lever. It offers a 45-degree preloaded cant, five leg positions, and non-rotating legs, giving the user a range of setup options without adding unnecessary complexity. The 6061-T6 aluminum body, hard coat anodizing, and heat-treated stainless steel components point to a rugged, purpose-driven build, while the black finish keeps the profile understated. At 23.16 ounces, it is a substantial accessory suited to rifles that benefit from a more deliberate, adjustable front-end support system.

Considerations & Trade-offs

- The included ADM-170-S lever is for 1913-style Picatinny rail mounting, which limits compatibility to that rail type.
- At 23.16 ounces, it is a substantial bipod and may be a consideration for hunters prioritizing lighter carry weight.
- Available in black only, so there are no finish options to match other gear.
