Bipods

Chris here's a cheap idea for you and they work fantastic. Get these parts from Lowes. 1/2" T, end cap, Street 90's, 45's, and regular 90's these are all PVC. you will also need several feet. take the T cut some 1 1/4" pieces. Insert and glue into the T , add end cap glue. insert the two street 90's with the flat bend upward and get the fittings at a 45. I then cant them outward for about a 15 degree angle. insert 2 more 1 1/4" pieces add the 90 degree elbows put in two 9-11" top with 3/4" crutch caps. to attach to your gun take about 8 turns of electrical tape on the T end add a 30 mm weaver/picatinney ring attach to your gun. Sorry I'm spastic with computer stuff, but I made about 4 different variations on these so far. using the method I described you can create like a preyhimantis leg that protrudes to the front and offers great support. Using these home made bipods I'm blasting flies off Fluke skins at 25 yards with a .25 cricket. I don't wound them, (miss a few bad pellets lol) It stabilizes that and other guns nicely. I made the first one 32" tall I used the T then 45's to another set of 45's with about a15" span then I added T's as a stretcher and legs to length.That combo was used in a knock down PVC blind. The big one has about 10 bucks in parts. canting them outward makes them pretty stable, IMHO better than a 23" Caldwell,and there is no movement in the smaller sizes

"30cal"The bags are for bench rest shooting. You don't attach them to the gun, just place them on your shooting table and lay the gun on them and aim.

I can tell there aren't enough smart-asses on this forum, people are not used to them; I was kidding 30cal. :)

And besides trying to be funny I also tried to make the point that the benefit of a bipod is that it IS attached to the rifle and can be used wherever you carry it, when hunting for example.
You wouldn't be schlepping around sand bags, those can ONLY be used when bench rest shooting.
