I liked his post and voted NO.While some (minor?) percentage of the people who bought Impacts and Mavericks might have added those accessories I suspect that many people don't have them
My Maverick always been sensitive to the touch, and the people i often see hanging off their scope while shooting what ever rifle is a mystery to me.
So i can be shooting pretty damn fine, and then change to a new target a foot or so to the side of where i was shooting, and BAM i have to click again.
And it is not like i have my rifle clamped down in the Caldwell Rock BR i use, actually right now the 2 " clamps " are just there as stops to prevent rifle falling off to the side of it.
I have also noticed a new trend with bench shooters wanting their fore end to be slick as snot on a doorknob, so the super grippy feet on bipods ASO seem to be not so popular these days, i think i saw someone put pellet tins under their bipod so it would slide around better.
So it seem to me rifles / some rifles are torsion sensitive.
On the maverick i always preferred a very light touch, so my cheek barely touch the cheek rest, and i am almost not gripping the grip in fear of " hanging " in it.
Well at least for the people not able to afford super expensive front end supports.
I expect any air rifle to accommodate bipod placement in a sensible place, and in front of trigger guard i do not find sensible, so i am pretty much always let down seeing a new otherwise sweet new rifle.
