How do these Caldwell XLA line of bipods compare to the UTG bipods? I currently have the UTG QD bipod, will this be an upgrade to that? Thanks!

I don't have much experience with the UTG but I really like my Caldwell. It looks and works great.

I use mine all the time and it works great. I have a Harris Bipod and never had an issue.

Sorry, I have no experience w/airsoft. Std by...Ok so I put a micrometer on it just for you. It mic'd at exactly 3/8 of an inch. I mic'd both my UTG and Blackhawk QD's and they were exactly the same. Put a ruler or something on your female attachment point, preferably a micrometer since the tolerances on these things can be pretty tight. If you're smaller than 3/8 by even a smidgen, look for another QD. Hope this helps

i've never tried the burris. The Leopold is one of the best illuminated scopes i've ever seen I love the motion senser illumination. My Leopold is on an IWI Trevor a killer pure and simple. i draw this weapon, target is down, day or night. Come on, best NRA rifle and optics platform???

No not really you would be better off going to a Harris type bipod. That's what I did, the Vanguard is just a little to unstable.

Thor, did you end up purchasing one of these to mount the bipod to your Condor? I'm looking for the same thing to mount a UTG bipod on my TalonP and I was wondering if it worked out for you. Thanks.

No, they're not...but if you've got the 30 round mag in and intend to rack off rounds like that, you need more bipod than this: the UTG is light duty.

The Harris bipods fasten to a bipod stud. But, there are bipod adapters sold by GG&G and YHM that fasten to a rail and mate with the Harris.

I have a conventional Harris bi-pod that I wanted to put on an AR. I wanted a strong clean interface that could take some abuse. I found it in the G&G; adapter. It is well built, and the fit and finish on the one I received was outstanding. Most of the conventional `hunting type bi-pod's' out there, must by default fit a standard rifle sling swivel stud. This is the most common situation among bolt guns and other wood/composite stock rifles. If your Black Hawk bi-pod has a pin that will fit a stock rifle swivel stud, I think you're in good shape.I hope this helpful.Ed Ballantine

I do believe that this is the M16 BCG; I bought mine from Brownells but by going from the picture and the Part Number (NIBXBCG-0002) this is indeed the beefier M16 BCG. Also, if you use this heavier BCG then you are going to need to run a heavier Action Return Spring (Sprinco's "Blue" Spring should do the job, and their "Machine Gunner's Lube" is fantastic) as well as a heavier Buffer (ST-2T, H2, DPMS Extra Heavy Buffer, etcetera). You really need these parts to get the most out of the "meatier" M16 BCG and for it to function reliably. And while you're in there, I recommend disposing of the standard, more fragile Charging Handle and swapping it for a design that DOESN'T put all the energy of charging the rifle onto a single steel roll pin. The Rainier Arms "Raptor" or Bravo Company "Gunfighter" series are all good choices, depending on your setup. Trust me, you won't regret any of these upgrades, but the Spring and Weight are actually rather necessary. Safe Shootin' and Keep 'em in the Ten Ring.

As far as I'm concerned Harris makes the best bipods available.. I don't see why it wouldnt

Mr. Brian, as long as the barrel has an outer diameter of 19mm or less, it should be okay. However, I do not suggest that you purchase this bipod as it can do some damage over time and also decrease the accuracy of the rifle. The best option is to purchase a bipod which mounts to the forearm (the front part of the stock). Maybe one like this: http://www.amazon.com/Caldwell-XLA-Bipod-6-9-Inch/dp/B0025U4L9Y/ref=sr_1_19?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1403746346&sr=1-19&keywords=bipods+for+rifles

Hello!This bipod was meant for rifles similar to or like the 770 so like the guys who have already answered, you should have no problem as long as you have a swivel swing stud on the front (which is more likely than a Picatinny on a 770) you're good to go.If you do not have a swivel stud installing one is relatively easy but talk to a gunsmith to ensure you don't compromise the stock.

I have them both and they are both very sturdy however, the detachable pouches are a pain in the butt when they are full of loaded mags. They tend to seperate from the case and flop around when being carried to the field or range. I much prefer the cases being sown on. If you don't plan on removing the pouches I would go with the sown on. I will next time if I need another case. Hope this helps.

I put my bipod on a model 700 .270 cal and had no issues. I'm sure the .338 Lapua has much more kick, but the bipod seems very stable. With a powerful cartridge like that, you would probably want to check the tightness of the mount after 20 rounds or so. I shot a box of .270 rounds with no problems, but again, the .338 has lot more punch. One thing I like about the Harris bipod is that it's really light - much lighter than I expected. .338 Lapua - great round!

I purchased this product specifically for a bipod. It has worked out very well and is a very solid. I would buy again. Good luck.
