Originally a Henrich Fortmeier bipod from Germany. Sometimes supplied (for extra $$) with a Steyr SSG 08

The bipod mount DOES NOT appear ANYWHERE in the sight picture.

I use one and can assure you of that !!

ELR, the scope’s focal point is WAY beyond where the bipod mount is. Same as when using scope on an AR15 with the iron sights still in place up front.

You won’t see a thing, no fuzz, nada.

Vince:

Hard to imagine that if you needed to work well into the bottom half of the scope’s elevation range you would not have a sight picture issue. At least the photo in the article strongly suggests that (as do the pics on the manufacturer’s site).

Hi,

Changing (verticaly) the center of gravity of a bipod is a very good idea for a greater stability.

But sorry, nothing new !

Look at the Walther 2000 at http://www.carlwalther.com/images/wa2000.gif

Happy new year from Switzerland !

Best regards

Florian

ELR Researcher – I was merely using the Atlas to give an idea of size – plus I just happen to have one.
I do address the sight-picture issue in the article – if you care to read it.

“Happy to ship to US. I have built it as a sporting item so I foresee no problems.

Will add your name to list and update you as soon as first batch ready to ship.”

I’ll update with another comment when he advises further.
