it says that the sling swivel is rotable. does that affect how studry the bipod is? So im wondering does the swivel roatate

I'm not sure if it rotates or not. I believe it does; but it has been so long since I put a bipod on I can't be positive. I will say the bipod is rock solid and quickly removed. I keep a bipod right in my range bag now because of the ease of use.

Swivel does not rotate, your bipod is as sturdy as it's designed to be, if it's cheap it will wiggle. I've had not problem using it, just make sure everything is tight.

The sling swivel in this device is loose and does rotate and wobble (rattle) slightly, but this device is not designed to attach a sling to it. It is a quick release mount for a Harris style bipod. Once a bipod is mounted to it via the sling swivel, the swivel will be tight and not move or rattle. This allows instant on and off or adjustment (by position) of a Harris, Stony Point, Caldwell, Blackhawk, or Chinese copy style bipod. It you want to mount a sling there are much more solid and compact units available.

No it does not effect how sturdy the bipod is. If you understand how a bipod mounts to a swivel stud you will see that it being able to rotate has no effect on the bipod

No this model is not the pivoting model. This attaches to the stock with no movement. This looks great on a bolt action but a little to big for an AR IMO. Overall great bipod

It should work fine if your rifle has swivel studs. If not you can add after-market studs. The sling has quick detachableswivels attached to it.

Sorry for the delay. Yes! There is a sling attachment point that accepts a detachable swivel and it is strong. However, it will not swivel side to side. It will swivel up and down.

You could articulate sling attachment by using side of the stock at the front end, bipod is a streatch due to the fact that this is break barrel rifle, you could attach Picatinny rail on to the barrel and use quick detach bipod, very unpractical.Your permanent mount option may be stock underside just behind slot that accommodates cocking mechanism, this is too far back for conventional bipod mount, added weight will be a nuisance and I don't see the benefit, I use Coldwell front and rear sandbags for bench shooting and cleaning, much more practical.

Yes, they add and extra mount point to attach a sling to. I recommend the pod lock as it makes the swivel feature much more functional but you could always get it later. Alpha Bravo makes an excellent metal pod lock with an all metal handle in short or long size.

It would be more convenient to just add a second sling swivel as well as less issues with the sling and bipod interacting and coming loose.

The bipod attaches to a standard picatinny rail. To attach to a sling mount you would need a sling mount to picatinny rail adapter.

Yes I did have to remove the sling swivel. However it has a sling attachment on either side of the rail. Hope that helps you.

Yes! I've got a sling hooked up on mine. It's a pretty well designed bipod and I had no trouble setting it up.

This sling attaches around the barrel and around the butt stock. You do not need swivel mounts. Overall it's a good sling if you don't want to install swivel mounts.

Yes i used the hole in the front of the stock were the sling would mount too...had to use a longer bolt to mount my bipod to it worked just fine

No sling attach point. Do watch the Youtube video by sootch or nutnfancy on this bipod. very sturdy.

Once the Bipod is mounted and put into use, no, however it can rotate to put it in storage mode. I hoped that helps.

I would think so...Back toward the breech will not let you mount a sling to the rifle. Remember, Always-Always have the Bi pod when folded toward the front...It should be behind the tip of the barrel at least 3 inches. But you can mount it so the legs go to the butt of the weapon. This could make the legs fold or snap back,and the rifle will drop to the ground....Not good with live ammo....

Bipod attaches to your front sling swivel stud if your rifle has one that is standardized. If your rifle has the stud or a place for one to be screwed in it should work fine from the bench. The only caveat would be bench height as the minimum height for the legs is like 9 inches. That might position your rifle a bit high for a taller shooting station but mine works just fine from standard benches at our range.

Yes it will work on a swivel stud bi pod. UTG is same model I used. I used the long one in forend because I didn't use second one. It all depends on how deep the stock will allow. But they will work for a bipod application.
