If you shoot F-TR competition, or PRS/NRL precision rifle matches, you definitely need a sophisticated bipod — something that offers exceptional stability along with quick adjustments for both height and angle. Today we cover four bipod options — two wide-base, ski-type bipods, along with two sturdy, precision shooting bipods that can fit to ARCA or Picatinny rails.

SEB JoyPod-X Coaxial Bipod for F-TR Competition

The upgraded SEB JoyPod-X bipod features an enhanced head unit and new rapid height adjustment for the legs. The new JoyPod-X is also offered in a variety of colors: Blue (as shown), Red, Green, Purple, Black, and Bronze. The Joypod-X weighs 19.16 oz. complete with the Picatinny adapter, new pivotal feet, and the joystick. JoyPod-X designer Sebastian Lambang tells us: “Now height adjustment of the JoyPod-X can be much easier, quicker, and more precise employing a simple, adjustable brake and improved ratchet system.” Contact Seb Rest USA for current pricing.

The next three bipods are sold through Creedmoor Sports. For these products Creedmoor Sports is offering FREE SHIPPING on orders over $49 this weekend. The FREE SHIPPING deal ends Monday, May 22, 2023 at 12:00 noon Central Time.

Phoenix Precision Wide-Base Bipod

The popular Phoenix Precision Bipod has been slimmed down (to help with F-TR class weight limits). The new Phoenix Bipod is now just 1.95 pounds. There are other enhancements including a swivel fixture on the skis (bipod feet) to compensate for uneven firing positions. Creedmoor Sports says the Phoenix Precision Bi-Pod is one of the most advanced on the market. It employs a unique Worm Gear System which provides very smooth and positive most positive height adjustment. This drive system virtually eliminates “creep-down” and allows the shooters to make very precise height adjustments. With a rigid bipod like this you can keep both hands on the rifle. This bipod retails for $498.95 at Creedmoor Sports.

Warne Skyline Precision Bipod — ARCA and Pic Rail Interfaces

The Warne Skyline Precision Bipod is one of the most functional, ergonomic, and strongest bipods on the market today. Designed to attach to your ARCA rail or Picatinny Rail, the Skyline bipod allows the shooter to make quick, one-handed height adjustments. It also offers smooth cant and panning ability for use on uneven terrain or less than ideal positions. Current price for both versions is $349.95 at Creedmoor Sports.

MDT Gen 2 Ckye Pod Double Pull Leg Bipod

This bipod has some impressive engineering, with 3 locking positions from front to back — stowed, angled. and down. The MDT CKYE-POD Gen2 bipod features quick single-handed adjustable height, allowing you to achieve from 9″ to 18.5″. It also offers 170 degrees of cant, 360 degrees of pan capability, and an integrated barricade stop. Mix and match the independent leg heights and angles to create the perfect shooting position no matter what the terrain or hill angle.
